OPERATING THE MANUAL RELEASE
6
The manual release mechanism enables the door to be
m
anually operated during power outages or in an emergency.
The RED Manual Release cord is preassembled to the
opener. When the opener is installed the handle should be no
higher then 1.8 metres from the floor. The cord may need to
be extended.
Do not disengage the opener to manual operation
with children, persons or other objects including
motor vehicles within the doorway. The door is
under significant tension and if the door has developed a fault
or incorrect tension, it may be unsafe and may fall rapidly.
