Attach the emergency release rope and handle

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.
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.
