OPERATING THE MANUAL RELEASE
10
The manual release mechanism enables the door to be
manually operated during power outages or in an emergency.
The RED Manual Release cord is preassembled to the
opener. When the opener is installed the handle should be no
higher then 1.8 metres from the floor. The cord may need to
be extended for high door installations.
Do not disengage the opener to manual operation
with children, persons or other objects including
motor vehicles within the doorway. The door is
under significant tension and if the door has developed a fault
or incorrect tension, it may be unsafe and may fall rapidly.

Note: A ballooning door may delay the safety reversal
response and can compromise garage door security.
• To remedy any ballooning, insert the supplied self tapping
metal screws into where the curtain leaves the roll. Secure
these through the curtain into the drum wheel at each end
of the roll.
• After determining the correct fastener location as shown, lift
the door approximately half a turn from the closed position
to allow access for securing the screws.
