INSTALLATION STEP 7
Install the Light and Lens
INSTALL THE LIGHT
• 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.
• 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
• Locate and loosen (approximately 1/8" (3 mm) 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.
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 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 (1.83 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.
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.
