If it is necessary to cut the emergency release rope, seal the cut end with a match or
lighter to prevent unraveling.
Ensure that the emergency release rope and handle are above
the top of all vehicles to avoid entanglement.
7.1 Insert one end of the emergency release rope through the handle. Tie a knot at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the end of the
emergency release rope.
7.2 Insert the other end of the emergency release rope through the hole in the trolley release arm. Make sure the handle is 6 feet
(1.83 m) above the oor and secure with a knot.

Figure 1 shows one piece of angle iron as the horizontal brace. For the vertical brace, 2 pieces of angle iron are used to
create a U-shaped support. The best solution is to check with your garage door manufacturer for an opener installation door
reinforcement kit.
NOTE: Many door reinforcement kits provide for direct attachment of the clevis pin and door arm. In this case you will not
need the door bracket; proceed to the next step.
