INSTALLATION STEP 7
Install the Lights
• Press the release tabs on both sides of lens.
Gently rotate lens back and downward until the
lens hinge is in the fully open position. Do not
remove the lens.
• Install up to a 100 watt maximum light bulb in each
socket. The lights will turn ON and remain lit for
approximately 4-1/2 minutes when power is
connected. Then the lights will turn OFF.
• Reverse the procedure to close the lens.
• If the bulbs burn out prematurely due to vibration,
replace with a Garage Door Opener bulb.
NOTE:
Use only standard light bulbs. The use of
short neck or speciality light bulbs may overheat the
endpanel or light socket.
INSTALLATION STEP 8
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 1" (2.5 cm) 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 6 feet (1.83 m)
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 with a match or lighter to prevent
unraveling.
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.
