Owner's Manual
MANUAL RELEASE 
This operator has provisions for manually operating the door 
in case of emergency or power failure. Refer to the appropriate 
instructions below for your model operator. 
MODEL HJ
This operator includes both a fl oor level disconnect chain (sash 
chain) to disconnect the door from the door operator and a 
disconnect chain with manual hoist to electrically disable the 
operator controls. 
 Pull the disconnect chain to engage the hoist mechanism. 
The disconnect chain may be locked in position by slipping 
the end through the keyhole of the chain keeper mounted on 
the wall.
To disengage, pull the disconnect chain and secure in the 
disengaged position by slipping the end through the keyhole 
bracket mounted on the wall. 
Operate the door in the desired direction by pulling on one 
side or the other of the continuous loop hoist chain.

electrically.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY from a moving chain: 
• DISCONNECT electric power to the operator BEFORE manually 
operating your door.
• If possible, use emergency disconnect ONLY when door is 
CLOSED. Weak or broken springs or unbalanced door could 
result in an open door falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly.
• NEVER use emergency disconnect unless doorway is clear of 
persons and obstructions.
