left slightly open, the back door closer will automatically close it to the fully closed position. It takes
several seconds before the back door closer begins to operate. Be careful not to catch fingers or any-
thing else in the back door, as this may cause bone fractures or other serious injuries.
●Use caution when using the back door closer as it still operates when

area to make sure there are no obstacles or anything that could cause any of your belongings to get
caught.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make
sure they are safe and let them know that the back door is about to open or close
●If the power back door system is turned off while the back door is
operating automatically, the auto- matic operation is stopped. The back door then has to be operated
manually. Take extra care when on an incline, as the back door may open or close unexpectedly.
