The
spring
blocking
device
is
made
to
extend
out
the
right
door
and
must
be
removed
in
order
to
close the

.
This
is
to
prevent
leaving
the
mechanism
blocked
accidentally
after
maintenance
.
Each mechanism
is
furnished
with
a
blocking
device
and should
remain
in
the
bottom
of
the house
since
the
spring
centers
may
differ
from
unit
to
unit
.
Manual
operation
of
the
mechanism
should
not
be
attempted
until
the
bearing
surfaces
of
the
mechanism
have been
checked
for
lubrication
.
