INSTALLATION STEP 6

Install the Lights

1. 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.
2. Insert an A19 incandescent (100 watt maximum) or
compact fluorescent (26W, 100W equivalent) light bulb
into the light socket. The lights will turn ON and remain lit
for approximately 4-1/2 minutes when power is connected.
Then the lights will turn OFF.
3. Reverse the procedure to close the lens.
4. If the bulbs burn out prematurely due to vibration, replace
with a garage door opener bulb. Use A19, standard neck
garage door opener for replacement.
NOTE: Do not use halogen, short neck, or specialty light bulbs
as these may overheat the end panel or light socket. Do not
use LED bulbs as they may reduce the range or performance of
your remote control(s).
INSTALLATION STEP 7

Attach the Emergency Release Rope and Handle

1. Insert one end of the emergency release rope through the
handle. Make sure that "NOTICE" is right side up. Tie a knot at
least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the end of the emergency release
rope.
2. Insert the other end of the emergency release rope through
the hole in the trolley release arm. Mount the emergency
release within reach, but at least 6 feet (1.83 m) above floor,
avoiding contact with vehicles to prevent accidental release
and secure with a knot.
NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the emergency release rope, seal
the cut end with a match or lighter to prevent unraveling. Ensure
the emergency release rope and handle are above the top of all
vehicles to avoid entanglement.
