INSTALLATION STEP 7
Install the Lights 

•   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.

•   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.

•   Reverse the procedure to close the lens.

•   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

•   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 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.
