WARNING KEEP THE GARAGE DOOR PROPERLY BALANCED. AN IMPROPERLY
BALANCED DOOR COULD CAUSE A SEVERE INJURY. HAVE A QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSON MAKE
REPAIRS TO CABLES, SPRING ASSEMBLIES, AND OTHER HARDWARE.
WARNING THE EMERGENCY DISCONNECT SHOULD ONLY BE USED WHEN THE DOOR
IS CLOSED. USE EXTREME CAUTION IF OPERATING THE EMERGENCY DISCONNECT ON AN OPEN
DOOR. WEAK OR BROKEN SPRING(S) MAY ALLOW THE DOOR TO FALL RAPIDLY, CAUSING A
SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.
The opener is equipped with an emergency disconnect that allows the door to be moved manually and independent
from the opener.
With the door closed, pull down on the disconnect handle and place the handle under the lower section of the
handle bracket. This motion causes the motor on the opener to pivot upwards and the opener to disconnect from
the torsion tube.
Releasing the disconnect handle from the lower section on the handle bracket and returning the handle to its
original position will reconnect the opener to the torsion tube.
NOTE: The motor will not pivot down completely when the handle is released. After one motorized up/
down door cycle, the motor will once again pivot down, and all cable slack will be taken up. The garage
door is not locked, secure from forced entry, until the motor is back in the down position.
Disconnect Label: The label is located next to the disconnect handle.
The adjacent view shows the handle in both the motor operated and
manual operated positions. View on the left side of the label shows the
handle position when the opener is engaged to the torsion tube. The
view on the right side of the label shows the handle when the opener is
disconnected from the torsion tube.
NOTE: Use extreme caution if disconnecting. The emergency
disconnect should not be used when the door is in the open position.
Weak or broken spring(s) may allow the door to fall rapidly causing a
severe or fatal injury.
