A Check that there is a 15 Amp 120 Volt grounded electrical
outlet or grounded permanent wiring box (per building code)
within 3' of Opener Power Head:
• If not, an outlet or wiring box must be installed. Contact
a licensed electrician for installation.
• If building codes require permanent wiring, Power Head
must be partially disassembled to install appropriate
wiring in place of Power Cord. See Figure 33-Assembly
and Installation Poster.
Permanent wiring must be installed by a Licensed
Electrician. Not all Overhead Door Distributors are Licensed
Electricians. Contact someone who is a Licensed Electrician.
WARNING:
NEVER use extension cords or portable generators. Extension
cords can overheat causing a fire. Portable generators do not
have an output compatable with PowerMax requirements.
