Read and Follow These Important Safety Instructions

You will see Warning and Caution statements on the following Pages.

Read and follow these safety instructions carefully. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury or death.

Warning means that severe injury or death may result from failure to follow instructions

Caution means that property damage or injury may result from failure to follow instructions

•

• Be sure to read and follow all instructions carefully.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a grounding type plug, that has a third (grounding) pin.

This plug will only fit into a grounding type outlet. If the Plug does not fit into the outlet, contact a qualified

electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

• Check to make sure the garage door is properly installed and balanced. Garage door & parts are under

extreme tension and under no circumstance should you attempt to adjust on your own. Have a qualified

garage door service person make repairs to cables, spring and other hardware before installing the opener.

• Install Entrapment Warning Label next to control button. Read the Control Adjustment Warning Label. Install

Emergency Release Tag to the Emergency Release Cord. Mount the Emergency Release Knob 180cm from the

floor. Use the manual release only to disengage the trolley. Do not use the Red Release Cord and Knob to pull

door up or down. If possible, use the Emergency Release only when the door is closed.

• Do not connect opener to power source until instructed. Install door opener 210cm or more above floor.

• After installing opener, the door must reverse when it comes in contact with a 5cm high object. Check this safety

feature often.

• REMOVE ALL ROPES CONNECTED TO THE GARAGE DOOR.

• DISENGAGE ALL EXISTING GARAGE DOOR LOCKS TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE GARAGE DOOR.

• Fiberglass, aluminum and steel doors must be reinforced to prevent damage. Consult with manufacturer for

recommendations.

• All installation and wiring must be done in strict compliance with local and state building and electrical codes.

Connect the power cord to a properly grounded outlet only. Do not in any way alter or remove the grounding pin.

Photo Eye System must be installed properly. Boss Operators recommend Photo Eye System is installed on

every garage door for your added protection. Opening doors must not close and Closing doors must open. See

test procedure page 13 and page 16.

• Locate push button within sight of garage door, away from all moving parts and out of reach of children (minimum

150cm above floor). To reduce the risk of injury to persons, use this operator only with a sectional door.

• Never operate the opener if the system is not operating properly.

• Always disconnect electric power before making repairs or removing cover.

• Activate opener only when the door is in full view and free from obstructions.

• No one should enter or leave the garage while the door is moving. Do not allow children to play near, or operate

the door. Keep the remote control away from children.

• After Installation is complete fasten this manual near the garage door. Perform periodic safety checks and

recommended maintenance and adjustments.

• NEVER GO UNDER A STOPPED, PARTIALLY OPEN DOOR.

• Test door opener monthly. The garage door MUST reverse on contact with a 5cm high object (or a two by 4

board laid flat) on the floor. After adjusting either the force or the limit of travel, retest the door opener. Failure to

adjust the opener properly increases the risk of severe injury or death.

• For products having an emergency release, when possible, use the emergency release only when the door is

closed. Use caution when using this release with the door open. Weak or broken springs are capable of

increasing the rate of door closure and increasing the risk of severe injury or death.

• KEEP GARAGE DOORS PROPERLY BALANCED. See owner’s manual. An improperly balanced door increases

the risk of severe injury or death. Have a qualified service person make repairs to cables, spring assemblies, and

other hardware.

• Coach Screws are supplied with the door for fitting to timber. Correct and safe fastening to other materials may

require different fasteners. The install must select and use fasteners appropriate to the material into which they

are being fixed.

• NOTE– IT IS THE INSTALLER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT THE FIXING METHODS ARE SOUND

Product Features

1. Motor: Permanently Lubricated, thermally protected, heavy duty motor with Automatic reset.

2. Opener Lights: Turn on and off automatically with 2.5 minutes illumination for your safety and convenience.

3. Sensing System: A built-in sensing system detects obstructions during door operation. If in the Downward (close)

travel mode, the Opener will sense an obstruction and reverse to the full open position. In the Open mode, the

Opener will stop. In both cases the operator will beep continuously for 20 seconds. Since all doors are different, the

Sensing System has independent adjustments for customizing the level of force for the normal opening and closing of

specific door.

4. Close Limit Switch: In winter months it’s common for small pieces of ice or packed snow to be trapped under the

door. Ground swelling may also effect the close limit setting of the Opener. The Close Limit Switch overrides the

Sensing System under the last one (5) cm of closing travel and prevents the door from reversing if it encounters an

obstruction at this point. When the Light flashes at the doors closed position, it’s about time to shovel the snow or re-

adjust the close limit higher.

5. Emergency Release: A pull cord allows manual disconnect and operation of door during power failure. Unit will

automatically reconnect when release is reset (the trolley release lever is snapped back to its original position), power

is restored and Opener is activated.

6. Mechanical Door Lock: When properly adjusted, opener locks door in closed position preventing unwanted entry.

7. Easy Connect Continuous Monitor Entrapment System: System allows quick and easy installation of “Silent Guard”

Photo Eye System while control circuitry monitors these devices continuously for proper operation.

8. Constant Contact to Close: For utmost safety if “Silent Guard” Photo eye system fails constant contact of mechanical

push button is necessary to close door. In this mode of operation, a radio transmitter cannot be used to close door.

9. Momentary Contact to Close: Single touch to Radio Transmitter or Wall Button will allow door to close as long as

Silent Guard Photo eye system is operational.

10. Silent Guard Photo Eye System: An invisible infra-red beam of light guards the door opening and reverses a

downward moving door if the beam is broken by a stationary or moving object. If the beam is broken, the opener will

beep for 20 seconds. Motor control circuitry constantly monitors the Photo Eye System for proper operation.

11. Digital Radio Control: Built in allowing over 1.6 million private codes, easily selected without use of tools. Bright

transmitter LED indicates operation and monitors battery condition.

12. Auto Force Learning: After setting the Up Limit and Down Limit is complete the door will run once from the Up Limit to

the Down Limit the data from this is stored in the memory. The red and green LED turn off and the opener beeps 3x,

the learning is then complete.

13. Soft Open/Close: The door soft open/close for a distance of 20-30cm depending on the size of the door being lifted.

14. Security Switch: When the Security Switch is activated the Door will not be able to operate. Signal from the Wall Box,

Transmitter, Push Button, and Up/Down button are all ignored. Light button will continue to function normally.

1. Raise and lower the door and check closely for areas of

sticking and binding. Check for loose hinges, wobbly

rollers, frayed cables and damaged or broken springs.

Contact a qualified garage door service person to make

the necessary adjustments.

2. Lift the door approximately halfway. When released,

the door should stay in that position. If door pulls open

or moves downward, the spring mechanism is not

adjusted properly. Contact a qualified garage door

service person to make the necessary adjustments.

3. When properly installed and adjusted the door will

remain clear of the opening, when allowed to rest at its

natural full open position. If door drifts up or down the

door is not adjusted properly. Contact a qualified

garage door service person to make the necessary

adjustments.

Door Test

Before beginning installation of the operator please complete the following test to insure that your door is balanced and in

good working condition. A poorly balanced door could cause severe personal injury and damage to the opener.

Always have a qualified garage door service person make any needed adjustments and/or repairs to your door before

proceeding with installation.

Do not install the opener until these adjustments and repairs have been made.
