Install The Lights; Attach The Emergency Release Rope And Handle - Craftsman 139.3043 Owner's Manual

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 or compact fluorescent light bulb
(100 watt maximum), 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 the 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.
To prevent possible OVERHEATING of the end panel or light
socket:
• Use ONLY A19 incandescent or compact fluorescent light
bulbs.
• DO NOT use incandescent bulbs larger than 100W.
• DO NOT use compact fluorescent light bulbs larger than
26W (100W) equivalent.
• DO NOT use halogen bulbs.
• DO NOT use short neck or specialty light 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.
