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:
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
l
disconnect power to circuit BEFORE removing cover to
establish permanent wiring connection.
Garage door installation and wiring MUST be in compliance
l
with ALL local electrical and building codes.
NEVER use an extension cord, 2-wire adapter, or change plug
l
in ANY way to make it fit outlet. Be sure the opener is
grounded.
