MANUAL RELEASE

In case of a power failure, the operator can be disengaged from the gate.
With an operator, the release action may sometimes feel stiff/jerky, which
is normal and has no effect on function. NOTE: It is normal for the
operator to run slow right after a disconnect or complete loss of AC/
battery power (the operator will need to run a complete open and close
cycle).

manually.
ENGAGE

2. Turn the key clockwise 180°. This locks the release lever.
