STEP 14 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 cover
l
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 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.
