SAFETY » IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION INSTALLATION To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH; one or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists. To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate: • Install warning signs on the front and back of the gate in PLAIN VIEW. • Permanently secure each warning sign in a suitable manner using fastening holes. ALWAYS wear protective gloves and eye protection when changing the battery or working around the battery compartment. • DO NOT use flooded lead acid battery. • Flooded lead acid batteries will produce gases when discharging and recharging which can explode. • DO NOT dispose of battery in fire. Battery may explode. Check with local codes for disposal instructions. WIRING To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH: • BEFORE installing power wiring or control stations be sure to follow ALL specifications and warnings described below. • ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator MUST NOT be performed until the batteries are disconnected. Upon completion of maintenance the area MUST be cleared and secured, at that time the unit may be returned to service. • ALL electrical connections MUST be made by a qualified individual. • DO NOT install ANY wiring or attempt to run the operator without consulting the wiring diagram. We recommend that you install an optional reversing edge BEFORE proceeding with the control station installation. To AVOID damaging gas, power or other underground utility lines, contact underground utility locating companies BEFORE digging. SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION To avoid SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH: • Disconnect ALL electric and battery power BEFORE performing ANY service or maintenance. • DO NOT connect solar panel(s) when power supply is connected. • DO NOT connect more than 30W (3 solar panels). To reduce the risk of FIRE or INJURY to persons use ONLY LiftMaster part 29-NP712 for replacement batteries. ADJUSTMENT Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing gate. • Too much force on gate will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system. • NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to close gate. • NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking gate. • If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other control may also need adjustment. • After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object. 4

SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION
Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small
children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing gate.
Too much force on gate will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal
system.
NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to close gate.
NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking gate.
If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other control may also
need adjustment.
After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested.
Gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object.
