TESTING AND OPERATING THE MANUAL RELEASE

DO NOT DISENGAGE THE OPERATOR 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.)

The manual release mechanism enables the door to be manually operated during power outages or in an emergency.

The RED Manual Release cord is preassembled to the trolley. When the operator is installed the handle should be no higher then 1.8 metres from the floor. The cord may need to be extended. Attach the manual release Instruction Label around the cord as shown below.

DO NOT USE THE RED HANDLE TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOOR.

Safety Precautions.

Connect Electric Power

TO AVOID INSTALLATION DIFFICULTIES, DO NOT RUN THE DOOR OPERATOR UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO Connect to properly fused and earthed power outlet.

– Ensure all ropes and installation tools have been removed from the door
– When the operator is switched ON, the operator light flashes a number of times and then remains ON. 

To Operate the Manual Release

The door should be fully closed if possible.

  1. Disengage: Pull the manual release rope and handle down to disconnect. This will disengage the trolley, allowing the door to be moved by hand, UP and DOWN as many times as needed.
  2. Re-engage: Pull the manual release rope towards the motor until it springs back to its original horizontal position. This will re-engage the trolley, and when the door passes the trolley position it will automatically re-engage the operator
