To Open The Door Manually; Care Of Your Opener - Chamberlain 3595S 3/4 HP Owner's Manual

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.
The door should be fully closed
if possible. Pull down on the
emergency release handle and lift
the door manually. To reconnect
the door to the opener, press the
door control push button.
The lockout feature prevents
the trolley from reconnecting
automatically, Pull the emergency
release handle down and back
(toward the opener). The door
can then be raised and lowered
manually as often as necessary.
To disengage the lockout feature,
pull the handle straight down. The
trolley will reconnect on the next
UP or DOWN operation.
