8-11. CHECK EMERGENCY RELEASE
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.

up to the desired location. See Fig 25.

 Hold door and measure ½” (13mm) between trolley

location for the rail bumper.
8-10. RAIL BUMPER INSTALLATION
The emergency release cord with red handle which is already
attached to the trolley, are extremely important parts of the
operator system. Pulling the release cord see Fig. 28 disengages
the door from the opener. This allows the door to be moved
manually up and down independent of the opener motor.
If the door is in the open position, use extreme care when
using the release.
Use emergency release to disconnect the door if the power is out. This
allows the door to be moved manually up and down independent of
the operator motor. It should also be used if for some unforeseen
reason the door strikes a person or object during its travel and does
not automatically reverse off the obstruction.
To release door—pull emergency release handle toward the
operator at approximately 45 degrees. (Fig. 28)
Prior to re-engaging door, ensure that all obstructions are removed and
door is operating properly manually. Before re-engaging trolley with a
belt connector, pull handle toward the door at approximately a 45
degree angle. Now the door can be reconnected by moving it manually
and bringing it into position when the connector is inside of the trolley.
