Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the ball rope (061297.0000.S) and the bell cord wire (108763.0002.S)?
A: The ball rope hard plastic (061297.0000.S) is the termination ball on the end of the manual pull cord. It provides a visible grip point for personnel to pull the cord. The related bell cord wire (108763.0002.S) is the cord itself. If only the ball is damaged or missing, replace the ball only; if the cord is frayed or damaged, replace the cord.
Q: How is the hard plastic ball attached to the pull cord?
A: The ball is typically attached by threading the pull cord through the hole in the ball and tying a knot below it, or by using a cord lock or compression fitting depending on the cord type. Consult the Genie operator manual for the specific attachment method for your model.
Q: When should the ball rope be replaced?
A: Replace the ball if it is cracked, broken, or missing. A missing or damaged ball can make the manual pull cord difficult to locate or grip, which is a safety concern particularly in emergency or power-outage situations.
Q: Why is a hard plastic ball used rather than a simple knot on the pull cord?
A: The hard plastic ball serves as a tactile and visual indicator of the cord end, making it easy for personnel to locate and grip the cord quickly in low-light conditions or emergencies. It also prevents the cord end from pulling through any cord guides or retaining clips.
Q: Is this ball compatible with all Genie commercial operator pull cords?
A: Yes. The 061297.0000.S ball is a universal replacement suitable for use across all Genie commercial operator families that use a standard manual pull cord. Ensure the ball hole diameter is compatible with the cord diameter in use.
