WARNING:
Do not engage the emergency release while the garage
door is open, do not use the emergency release rope
to raise or lower the garage door, and only engage the
emergency release when the door way is clear of all
people, pets, and obstructions. Failure to properly engage
the emergency release can result in death or serious
personal injury resulting from a falling garage door.
Locate the following item:
Emergency Release Rope
Lower the garage door completely.
Insert one end of the emergency release rope through the
hole in the handle and tie a knot at the bottom.
Insert the other end of the emergency release rope
through the hole in the trolley release lever. Pull the rope
up until it is at least six feet above the garage floor, then
tie a knot.
INSTALLING THE DOOR BRACKET
See Figures 29 - 32.
Locate the following items:
Door Bracket
Screws
NOTICE:
Before installing the door bracket, ensure that your door
has proper horizontal and vertical support. Aluminum,
fiberglass, and other light weight garage doors may
require vertical or horizontal reinforcement. Check
with your garage door manufacturer or installer for
reinforcement instructions. Installing a garage door
opener on a door that is not properly supported could
damage the door and void the door warranty.
To install the bracket on sectional garage doors:
Lower the garage door completely.
Using a pencil and a level, draw a vertical line in the center
of the top portion of the garage door.
Center the bracket on the line and place it just below the
top of the door or at the same approximate height as the
top roller.
Mark the middle holes on the left and right of the bracket.
Drill 3/16 in. pilot holes and secure the bracket in place
using screws.
NOTE: For wooden doors, drill hole completely through
the door and install bracket using bolts and nuts, see
figure 29.
