Installation
Follow the steps listed at right while referring to the illustrations below.
CAUTION: IF USING A POWER SCREW-DRIVER, BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVER-
TIGHTEN SCREWS–YOU WILL STRIP THE THREADS ON THE JUNCTION BOX AND/
OR ELECTRICAL DEVICE.
1. DISCONNECT POWER to the receptacle at the circuit breaker panel before
installing.
2. If installing on an existing receptacle, remove the existing cover/gasket and
discard.
3. Select the right insert for the application and press into bass. If you need to
remove the knock-outs on the round insert, grab them from the back with a p l i -
ers and pry down until they break free. If using the round insert, knock
out the appropriate hole size (see Knockout Removal).
4. The base should be installed on a smooth, flat surface. To ensure a weather-
proof seal on surfaces such as brick or cedar siding, a 1/4" bead of non-
hardening silicon caulk should be placed between the gasket and mounting
surface.
5. Mount the base/insert assembly and the receptacle(s) to the junction box
using two of the long screws provided. To ensure weatherproof protection,
the hinges must be located at the top with the cord on the bottom. If mount-
ing to an outdoor junction box or FS box, use the remaining long screws to
further secure the base/insert assembly to the junction box, using the exist-
ing holes. For specially designed boxes, mounting holes should be drilled to
line up with the holes in the box.
7. Be sure all screws are secure but not over-tightened. Install the remaining
short screws into the receptacle as required
8. To open, bend back the plastic latch while lifting the cover. A hasp is
provided for padlocking (see right).
FOR BEST PROTECTION FROM RAIN OR HUMIDITY, BE SURE TO ROUTE THE CORDS
THROUGH THE CORD KNOCKOUTS IN THE COVER AND PRESS THE COVER FIRMLY
UNTIL IT SNApS CLOSED OVER THE HASp.
DO NOT USE IF INCORRECT CORD KNOCKOUTS ARE REMOVED.
Caution: DisConneCt power to the
DeviCe at the CirCuit breaker panel
before installing this reCeptaCle
Cover.
