INSTALLATION STEP 13
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
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.
RIGHT
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.
WRONG
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from electrocution or fire:
Be sure power is NOT connected to the opener, and disconnect power to
l
circuit BEFORE removing cover to establish permanent wiring connection.
Garage door installation and wiring MUST be in compliance with ALL local
l
electrical and building codes.
NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter, or change plug in ANY way to
l
make it fit outlet. Be sure the opener is grounded.
