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.

A WARNING

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 to
establish permanent wiring connection.

• 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.

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:

• Remove the motor unit cover screws and set the

cover aside.

• Remove the attached 3-prong cord.

• 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.

• Reinstall the cover.

To avoid installation difficulties, do not run the
opener at this time.
