To disengage the opener
Pull the release cord down firmly,
(the opener will make a clicking noise).
To re-engage the opener
Pull the release cord down firmly,
(the opener will make a clicking noise).
Disable all locks and remove any ropes connected to the garage door.
Take care when operating the manual release as an open door may fall rapidly due to weak or
broken springs, or being out of balance.
OPERATING THE MANUAL RELEASE
10
The manual release mechanism enables the door to be manually
operated during power outages or in an emergency.
Thread the end of the rope through the loop of the manual
release cable.
Adjust rope length so the handle (when installed) will be no higher
than 1.8m above the floor. Secure with an overhand knot. If the
door is greater than 2.5m in height the release cord extension kit
is required.
NOTE: Final adjustment of handle height should be completed
after the opener is installed. If it is necessary to cut the rope,
heat seal the cut end to prevent unravelling.
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 (inset 3) 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.
