Once you are done maneuvering your garage door and are ready to re engage the automatic door opener please return the garage door back to the down position. Pulling on this rope will put the garage into manual mode so if the door is up it might come crashing down. To manually open most garage doors you simply pull a corded handle that is attached to the door. Pull the emergency release cord toward the door.

Manually move the garage door and return to down position. Take care when operating the manual release when the door is open as it may. Do not try to pull the door using the manual release cord. This becomes necessary when there is a power failure or for some reason you lose your remote.
