INSTALLATION STEP 7

Install the Light and Lens

INSTALL THE LIGHT

1. Install an A19 standard neck, 75 watt maximum light

bulb in the socket. The light will turn ON and remain
lit for approximately 4-1/2 minutes when power is
connected. Then the light will turn OFF.

2. Use standard neck Garage Door Opener bulbs for

replacement

NOTE: Use only standard light bulbs. The use of short
neck or specialty light bulbs may overheat the endpanel or
light socket.

INSTALL THE LENS

1. Locate and loosen (approximately 1/8" (3 mm) the two

screws near top of opener front panel.

2. Position lens against panel with slotted tabs directly

below screws. Slide lens up to seat tabs behind
screws.

3. Snap bottom tabs of lens into panel slots.

4. Retighten top panel screws to secure lens.

INSTALLATION STEP 8

Attach the Emergency Release Rope and
Handle

1. Insert one end of the emergency release rope through

the handle. Make sure that “NOTICE” is right side up.
Tie a knot at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the end of the
emergency release rope.

2. Insert the other end of the emergency release rope

through the hole in the trolley release arm. Mount
the emergency release within reach, but at least 6
feet (1.83 m) above the fl oor, avoiding contact with
vehicles to prevent accidental release and secure with
a knot.

NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the emergency release
rope, seal the cut end with a match or lighter to prevent
unraveling. Ensure the emergency release rope and
handle are above the top of all vehicles to avoid
entanglement.

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.

To prevent possible OVERHEATING of the endpanel or
light socket:
• DO NOT use short neck or specialty light bulbs.
• DO NOT use halogen bulbs. Use ONLY
incandescent.
To prevent damage to the opener:
• DO NOT use bulbs larger than 75W.
• ONLY use A19 size bulbs.
