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.
DISCONNECT THE TROLLEY
1
The door should be fully
closed if possible.
2
Pull down on the emergency
release handle.
RECONNECT THE TROLLEY
The lockout feature prevents
the trolley from reconnecting
automatically.
1
Pull the emergency release
handle down and back
(toward the opener). The
door can then be raised and
lowered manually as often as
necessary.
2
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 control.
