Warning - Risk of injury! Keep fingers clear of moving door and cord. Motor may start without warning.
Ensure the maximum door weight of 8lbs (4kg) is not exceeded as this will cause damage to the motor
and invalidate the warranty! Note that wooden doors are heavier when wet.
The maximum door lifting height is 15” (400mm). Do not exceed this as operation will be incorrect and
the cord may become detached.
Check the sliding door to make sure it runs smoothly and reliably both upwards and downwards. The
ChickSafe uses gravity alone to close the door.
To mount the ChickSafe further away from the door, an additional length of cord may be attached. For
helpful information see our ChickSafe ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ page at www.brinsea.com
