INSTALLATION STEP 7

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. Install 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.
3. Reverse the procedure to close the lens.
4. Use A19, standard neck garage door opener bulbs 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 8

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 the
fl oor, 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.
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.
