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.

INSTALLATION STEP 9

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 (1.8 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.
