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 fl oor, avoiding contact with vehicles to prevent accidental release and secure
with an overhand knot.
NOTE:
If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the cut end with a match or lighter to
prevent unraveling.
