INSTALLATION STEP 7
ATTACH THE EMERGENCY RELEASE ROPE AND
HANDLE
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. If rope knot
becomes untied, you could fall.
1. Insert one end of the emergency release rope through the
handle. Make sure that “NOTICE” is right side up. Secure with
an overhand knot at least 1" (2.5 cm) from the end of the rope
to prevent slipping.
2. Insert the other end of the emergency release rope through
the hole in the trolley release arm. Mount the emergency
release within reach, but at least 6 feet (1.83 m) above floor,
avoiding contact with vehicles to prevent accidental release
and secure with an overhand knot.
NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the emergency release rope, seal the
cut end with a match or lighter to prevent unraveling. Ensure the
emergency release rope and handle are above the top of all vehicles
to avoid entanglement.
