INSTALLATION STEP 11

Attach the Emergency Release Rope

and Handle

• Thread one end of the rope through the hole in the top

of the red handle so “NOTICE” reads right side up as

shown. Secure with an overhand knot at least

25mm from the end of the rope to prevent slipping.

• Thread the other end of the rope through the hole in

the release arm of the outer trolley.

• Adjust rope length so the handle is no more than 1.8m

above the floor. Ensure that the rope and handle clear

the tops of all vehicles to avoid entanglement. Secure

with an overhand knot.

NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the

cut end to prevent unraveling.

• To release the trolley, pull down on the red handle. Do

not use the handle to open or close the door.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a falling

garage door:

• If possible, use emergency release handle to disengage trolley

ONLY when garage door is CLOSED. Weak or broken springs or

unbalanced door could result in an open door falling rapidly

and/or unexpectedly.

• NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage doorway

is clear of persons and obstructions.

• NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed.

INSTALLATION STEP 10

Install the Lights

• Press the release tabs on each side of lens. Gently

rotate lens back and downward until the lens hinge is

in the fully open position. Do not remove the lens.

• Install a 40 watt maximum light bulb in each socket.

Light bulb size should be E27, standard ‘GLS’ base

only. The lights will turn ON and remain lit for

approximately 2-1/2 minutes when power is connected.

Then the lights will turn OFF.

• Reverse the procedure to close the lens.

NOTE: Lights do not turn on in battery mode.

Use E27 standard 40 watt bulbs or 28 watt Energy

Saving Halogen Bulbs for replacement as shown.

To prevent possible OVERHEATING of the endpanel or light

socket:

• DO NOT use short neck or specialty light bulbs.

To prevent damage to the opener:

• DO NOT use bulbs larger than 40W.

• ONLY use E27 size bulbs.

• DO NOT USE CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamps) or Reflective

Lamps as they may cause damage to the lens cover. If unsure call

the Chamberlain customer service.
