Attach The Emergency Release Rope And Handle; Electrical Requirements - Craftsman 139.53939D Manual Del Propietário

INSTALLATION STEP 9

Attach the Emergency Release Rope and Handle

1. Insert one end of the emergency release rope through the
handle. Make sure that "NOTICE" is right side up. Tie a knot at
least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the end of the emergency release
rope.
2. Insert the other end of the emergency release rope through the
hole in the trolley release arm. Mount the emergency release
within reach, but at least 6 feet (1.83 m) above the floor,
avoiding contact with vehicles to prevent accidental release and
secure with a knot.
NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the emergency release rope, seal
the cut end with a match or lighter to prevent unraveling. Ensure
the emergency release rope and handle are above the top of all
vehicles to avoid entanglement.
INSTALLATION STEP 10

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" hole in the top
of the motor unit:
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.
To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the opener at this
time.
WRONG
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a falling
garage door:
• If possible, use emergency release handle to disengage
trolley ONLY when garage door is CLOSED. Weak or broken
springs or unbalanced door could result in an open door
falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly.
• NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage doorway
is clear of persons and obstructions.
• NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed. If rope knot
becomes untied, you could fall.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution or fire:
• Disconnect ALL electric and battery power BEFORE
performing ANY service or maintenance.
• Garage door installation and wiring MUST be in compliance
with ALL local electrical and building codes.
• NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter, or change
plug in ANY way to make it fit outlet. Be sure the opener is
grounded.
