WARNING!
When operating the
manual release (while the door is
open) the door may fall rapidly due
to weak or broken springs, or due to
being improperly balanced.
Do not disengage the opener to
manual operation with children/
persons or any objects including
motor vehicles within the doorway.
6.2 Emergency Evacuations
In emergencies the garage door can be disengaged
from the opener, via the manual release cord and
the door opened manually. The manual release cord
should be a maximum of 1.8m from the ground. The
cord can be adjusted for special considerations.
6.3 Power Failure
When there is a power failure, the opener will be
unable to automatically open or close your garage
door. To use your door whilst there is no power you
will need to disengage the opener and use the door
manually – see 6.1 Manual Door Operation.
6.4 Re-Engaging the Opener
When the door has been disengaged from the
opener, before re-engaging, ensure that the door has
not been locked by a locking device (preferably by
lifting the door open to waist height). Re-engage the
opener (Fig 6.1) and then press the operate button.
Then the door will operate as normal.
CAUTION:
When the opener is manually
disengaged, the door is no longer locked.
To lock the door manually, re-engage the
opener after the door is closed.
6.1 Manual Door Operation
To disengage the opener from the door (preferably
with the door in the closed position), pull down on
the string handle
(Fig 6.1)
. This will allow you to
manually open or close the door.
To re-engage the opener refer to 6.4 Re-Engaging
the Opener.
6.5 Security - Inbuilt Locking Facility
DO NOT
lock your door when your opener is
engaged as it has inbuilt locking facility. With the
opener engaged your door will be locked whether
the power is on or off.
WARNING!
Please test the manual
release mechanism to ensure that the
manual release is easy to operate.
No more than 15 kg of force should
be required to disengage the door
using the manual release cord. If
excessive force is required contact
your door professional immediately
and ask them to reset the close limit
position.
