Install the Light

- Install a 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.

• Apply slight pressure on the sides of the lens and

slide the tabs into the slots in the end panel (See
illustration).

• To remove, reverse the procedure. Use care to

avoid snapping off lens tabs.

• If the bulb burns out prematurely due to vibration,

replace with a Garage Door Opener bulb.

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

INSTALLATION STEP 7

CAUTION

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.

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" (25 mm) 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. Secure with an overhand knot.

NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal

the cut end with a match or tighter to prevent
unraveling.
