Install the Light(s) and the Lens(es)

Install the light(s)

Install a 75 watt maximum light bulb in each socket. The light(s) will turn ON and remain lit for approximately 4-1/2 minutes when power is connected. Then the light(s) will turn OFF.

If the bulbs burn out prematurely due to vibration, replace with a "Garage Door Opener" bulb.

Install the lenses: (Models 1260 & 1250) Figure 1

Slide lenses into guides. Snap bottom tabs into lens slots.

Reverse the procedure to remove the lenses.

Install the lens: (Models 1255 & 1245) Figure 2

Locate and loosen (approximately 1/8") the two screws near top of opener front panel. Position lens against panel with slotted tabs directly below screws. Slide lens up to seat tabs behind screws. Snap bottom tabs of lens into panel slots. Retighten top panel screws to secure lens.

WARNING

Do not use the red handle to pull the door open or closed. The rope knot could become untied and you could fall. Use the manual release only to disengage the trolley and, if possible, only when the door is closed.

Garage doors are heavy. If the door is open when the handle is pulled, the door could close inadvertently if it is not properly balanced. Serious injury may result to persons under the door. Make sure the doorway is clear of persons and obstructions before pulling handle when door is open.

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.

The knot should be at least 1" 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 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.
