INSTALLATION STEP 7

Install the Battery

• Make sure motor unit is unplugged.
• Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the battery
cover on the motor unit.
• Partially insert battery into motor unit with terminals
facing out.
• Connect the red (+) and black (-) wires from motor unit
to corresponding terminals on battery.
• Replace battery cover.
INSTALLATION STEP 8

Install the Lights

• 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.
• Install up to a 100 watt maximum light bulb in each
socket. Light bulb size should be A19, standard neck
only. The lights will turn ON and remain lit for
approximately 4-1/2 minutes when power is
connected. Then the lights will turn OFF.
• Reverse the procedure to close the lens.
• 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: Use only standard light bulbs. The use of short
neck or speciality light bulbs may overheat the endpanel
or light socket.
INSTALLATION STEP 9
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" (2.5 cm) 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 (1.83 m)
above the floor. Ensure that the rope and handle clear
the tops of all vehicles to avoid entanglement. Secure
with an overhand knot.
NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the cut
end with a match or lighter to prevent unraveling.
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.
To prevent damage to the opener:
• DO NOT use bulbs larger than 100W.
• ONLY use A19 size bulbs.

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.
