The light will turn ON and remain lit for
approximately 4q/2 minutes when _wer is
connected. Then the light will turn OFF.
, If the bulb bums out prematurely due to vibration,
replace it with a standard neck "Garage Door Ught

Attach the Emergency Release
R®e
Do not use the red handle to pull the door
open or closed, The rope knot couid become
untied and you could Carl. Use the emergency
release only to d_sengage the trolley and:, if
possible, only when the door ts etosed.
Garage doors are heavy. If the door is open
when the handle is pulled, the door could
close inadvertently if ft is not properly
balanced, Sedous injury may result to persons
under the door, Make sure the doorway ts clear
of persons and obstructions before pulling
handle when door is open,
- Thread one end of the rope through the hole in the
top of the red handle so "NOTICE" reads dght side
up as shown Secure with an overh_d keel
The knot should be at least 1" 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 handie is 6 feet above the
floor. Secure with an overhand knoL
If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the cut
end with a match or lighter to prevent unraveling.

Safety Reversing System
Information you1] need before you begin the installation of the safety reversing sensor.
The safety reversing sensor must _ connected
and aligned correctly before the garage door
opener wlil move in the down direction. This is a
required _fety device and cannot be disabled,
Instalia#on pr_edures are the same for sedionat
Without a properly working safety reversing
sensor, persona (particularly children) could
be in]u_ or killed by aclosing garage door.
Read and follow all instructions.
To protect small children, Install the safety
reversing sensor so that the beam wi[[ be no
higher than 4"4" above the garage fi_ro
Disconnect power to the garage door opener
before installing the safety reversing sensor.
Be sure po'#er to the opener is disconnected.

The brackets must be connected and fastened so
that the sending and receiving eyes face each other

If an obstruct on breaks the light beam while the

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death to persons:
t READ AND FOLLOW ALL |NSTRUCT!ONS,
2. Do not permit children either to operate or to play with the opener_ K_p remote contro! in a
locagon inaccess_Me to chiidren.
3. Operate opener only when the door ts _nfull view and free from any obstruction. K_p the door tn
sight until it is completely closed. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING DOOR.
4. Check safety reversal system monthty_ See page 30. The garage door MUST reverse on contact
with a oneqnch (or a 2x4 board iatd fiat) object placed on the floor. If an adjustment Is made to
either the force or the limit of travet, both adiustments may be needed and the safety rever_l
system must be checked. Failure to property adjust the opener may result in severe injutTy or death.
5. if possible, use the emergency retease Only when the door is in a c!os_ position. Caution should
be taken whenever the disconnect cord is actuated with the door open. Weak or broken springs
may cause the door to fail rapidly, causing injury or death to persons.
6. KEEP GARAGE DOORS PROPERLY BALANCED. S_ page 3. An improperly balanced door may not
reverse when required and could result in severe injury or deat,5. Repairs to _bles, spring
assemblies and other hardware must be made by a professional garage door _rson.
