replace with a Garage Door Opener bulb.

neck or speciafity light bulbs may overheat the endpanel
or light socket.
INSTALLATION STEP 9
Attach the Emergency Release Rope
and Handle
• Thread one end of the rope through the hole in the top
of the red handle so "NOTICE" reads right side up
as shown. Secure with an overhand knot at least
1" (2.5 cm) from the end of the rope to prevent
slipping.
• Thread the other end of the rope through the hole in
the release arm of the outer trolley.
• Adjust rope length so the handle is 6 feet (1.83 m)
above the floor. Ensure that the rope and handle clear
the tops of all vehicles to avoid entanglement. Secure
with an overhand knot.
NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the cut
end with a match or lighter to prevent unraveling.
To prevent possible OVERHEATING of the endpanel or light
socket:
• DO NOTuse short neck or specialty light bulbs.
• DO NOTuse halogen bulbs. Use ONLYincandescent.
