7.THE RELEASE HANDLE & CORD
• Thread one end of the rope
through the hole in the
top of the red release handle so
that “NOTICE”
reads correctly.
• Secure with an overhand knot at least 25 mm from
the end of the rope to prevent slipping.
• Thread the other 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 1.8 m above the floor. Secure with an overhand knot.
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.
