Installation
STEP 15 Connect Power
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution or fire:
Be sure power is NOT connected to the opener, and disconnect power to circuit BEFORE removing
l
cover to establish permanent wiring connection.
Garage door installation and wiring MUST be in compliance with ALL local electrical and building
l
codes.
NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter, or change plug in ANY way to make it fit outlet. Be sure
l
the opener is grounded.
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the opener at this time.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage door opener has a grounding type plug with a third
grounding pin. This plug will only fit into a grounding type outlet. If the plug doesn't fit into the outlet you
have, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS FOR CONNECTING POWER:
OPTION A - TYPICAL WIRING
1.
Plug in the garage door opener into a grounded outlet.
2.
DO NOT run garage door opener at this time.
OPTION B - PERMANENT WIRING
If permanent wiring is required by your local code, refer to the following procedure. To make a permanent
connection through the 7/8-inch hole in the top of the motor unit (according to local code):
1.
Remove the motor unit cover screws and set the cover aside.
2.
Remove the attached 3-prong cord.
3.
Connect the black (line) wire to the screw on the brass terminal; the white (neutral) wire to the screw on
the silver terminal; and the ground wire to the green ground screw. The opener must be grounded.
4.
Reinstall the cover.
