Pinning The Door; Operating Manual Release - Merlin WeatherDrive MR555MYQ Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

PINNNG THE DOOR
8
Note: A ballooning door may delay the safety reversal
response and can compromise garage door security.
• To remedy any ballooning, insert the supplied self tapping
metal screws into where the curtain leaves the roll. Secure
these through the curtain into the drum wheel at each end of
the roll.
• After determining the correct fastener location as shown, lift
the door approximately half a turn from the closed position to
allow access for securing the screws.
THE RELEASE HANDLE & CORD
9
Do not disengage the opener to manual operation
with children, persons or other objects including
motor vehicles within the doorway. The door is
under significant tension and if the door has
developed a fault or incorrect tension, it may be
unsafe and may fall rapidly.
The manual release mechanism enables the door to be manually
operated during power outages or in an emergency.
Thread the end of the rope through the loop of the manual release
cable.
Adjust rope length so the handle (when installed) will be no higher
than 1.8m above the floor. Secure with an overhand knot. If the
door is greater than 2.5m in height the release cord extension kit is
required.
NOTE: Final adjustment of handle height should be completed
after the opener is installed. If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat
seal the cut end to prevent unravelling.
