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 25mm 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 1.8m above the floor. Secure with an overhand knot.

If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the cut end with a match or lighter to prevent unraveling.

WARNING

•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.
