To Open The Door Manually - Chamberlain 3585CS Owner's Manual

To Open the Door Manually

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.
The door should be fully
closed if possible. Pull
down on the emergency
release handle and lift
the door manually. To
reconnect the door to the
opener, press the door
control push bar.
The lockout feature
prevents the trolley
from reconnecting
automatically. Pull the
emergency release handle
down and back (toward
the opener). The door
can then be raised and
lowered manually as often
as necessary. To disengage
the lockout feature, pull the
handle straight down. The trolley will reconnect on the
next UP or DOWN operation, either manually or by using
the door control or remote.
