INSTALLATION STEP 2
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 loop in
the emergency release cable.
• Adjust rope length so the handle is no higher than 6'
(1.83 m) above the floor. 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.

falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly.
• NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage
doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.
