remove your hand from the door handle immediately after starting power

operation, your hand, fingers, wrist etc. may be subjected to an excessive
amount of force.
● Check the safety of the surrounding area to make sure there are no obsta-
cles or anything that could cause any of your belongings to get caught.
● If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are clear of the door path and let
them know that the sliding door is about to open or close.
●In the event that the sliding door is left
slightly open, the sliding door closer will
automatically close it to the fully closed
position. It takes several seconds
before the sliding door closer begins to
operate. Be careful not to catch fingers
or anything else in the sliding door, as
this may cause bone fractures or other
serious injuries.
