Electrical Requirements

To avoid installation diffi culties, 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 fi t into a grounding type outlet.
If the plug doesn't fi t into the outlet you have, contact a
qualifi ed electrician to install the proper outlet.

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
