INSTALLATION STEP 8

Install the Lights

• Press the release tabs on both sides of lens. Gently

rotate lens back and downward until the lens hinge is
in the fully open position. Do not remove the lens.

• Install a 100 watt maximum light bulb in each socket.

Light bulb size should be A19, standard neck only. The
lights will turn ON and remain lit for approximately
4-1/2 minutes when power is connected. Then the
lights will turn OFF.

• Reverse the procedure to close the lens.

• Use A19, standard neck garage door opener bulbs for

replacement.

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

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 (1.83 m)

above the fl oor. 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.

NOTICE

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 100W.
• ONLY use A19 size bulbs.
