IMPORTANT PLEASE READ. |
|
By installing and using
the Garage Butler, you agree to hold Garage Butler and it's
affiliates harmless for any personal and/or property damages. The
Garage Butler is recommended for use with garage door openers that
comply with the latest government safety requirements (those with
automatic reversing mechanisms and electronic photo eye sensors that
detect obstructions). If your garage door does not have these safety
features, and you decide to use the Garage Butler anyway, then you
assume full responsibility and liability of any and all possible
personal and property damage. We recommend that you replace or
update your garage door opener before installing the Garage Butler. |
|
|
|
After
you have performed all of the necessary installation steps and
before you test the unit, please make sure that the garage door is
closed completely and that no vehicles or items are in the path of
the garage door. After installation and while the garage door is
closed, turn the garage butler to the ON position THEN open the
garage door with the 3 minute setting so that you can TEST your
unit. |
|
|
|
NOTE: If the
power goes out in your home or to the circuit that your Garage
Butler is plugged in to, your Garage Butler will automatically reset
itself to the 3 minute timer. Please keep this in mind and make sure
to reset your Garage Butler to your preferred timer setting if this
ever happens. We would not want you to get locked out of your house
or have anything adverse happen do to this fact. |
|
|
|
NOTE: If you
ever need to lengthen either the contact wire or the signal wire
(short wire) you can use wire such as speaker wire, etc. that can be
found at any local hardware store. Simply cut and twist the wires
together for a secure connection and wrap each connection separately
with electrical tape. DO NOT lengthen the power cord (wire) at any
time. If you need to have a longer power cord, simply purchase an
extension cord. |

SAFETY & SECURITY
|
|
A garage door can be
the most commonly used point of entry for most homes. the
garage door opener system
must be properly adjusted and maintained in order to function safely
and provide security to its residents. Consider these security tips
for automated garage doors. |
 |
Visually inspect garage door. Look at the garage door springs,
cables, rollers, pulleys and other door hardware for signs of
wear. If you suspect problems, have a qualified person make
repairs. |
|
|
Avoid a moving garage door, and keep hands and fingers clear
of the garage door. Do not stand, walk or run under a moving
door. Hands and fingers must be kept clear from section
joints, hinges, track, springs and other door parts. |
|
|
Do
not let children play with garage door transmitters or remote
controls. Garage door operators are not toys. Keep children
out of the door's reach. Mount pushbutton wall controls high
enough to be out of the reach of children. |
|
|
Only operate the garage door if you can see it. Keep the door
in sight until it closes completely. |
|
|
Monthly, test the reversing mechanism of garage door. If an
object obstructs the door as it is closing, the door should
reverse. Make sure the garage door opener is equipped with
such reversing features. If the door does not reverse, have it
repaired or replaced by a qualified repair technician. |
|
|
Monthly, test the garage door balance. With the door in the
closed position and the operator disconnected, lift the door
manually. It should lift smoothly, with little resistance and
should remain open. If the garage door is out of balance, have
the door system adjusted by a qualified technician. |
|
|
Test the force setting on the garage door. Hold up the bottom
of the door as it closes. If the door does not easily reverse,
the force with which the door lowers is excessive and needs
adjustment. |
