Attach the Emergency Release
Rope and Handle
• Thread one end of the rope through the hole in the
top of the red handle so “NOTICE” reads right side
up as shown. Secure with an overhand knot at
least 1" (2.5 cm) from the end of the rope to
prevent slipping.
• Thread the other end of the rope through the hole
in the release arm of the outer trolley.
• Adjust rope length so the handle is 6 feet (1.83 m)
above the floor. Ensure that the rope and handle
clear the tops of all vehicles to avoid
entanglement. Secure with an overhand knot.
NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal
the cut end with a match or lighter to prevent
unraveling.
