INSTALLATION STEP 7

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.

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.

RIGHTWRONG

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 back of the motor unit (according to local code):

•Remove the opener from the torsion bar, remove cover screws and set the cover aside.

•Remove the attached green ground terminal.

•Cut black and white wires and strip away 1/2" (1.3 cm) of insulation, 3" (7.6 cm) before spade terminals.

•Remove the power cord from unit.

•Install a 90o conduit or flex cable adapter to the 7/8" hole. Reinstall opener to torsion bar.

•Run wires through conduit, cut to proper length and strip insulation.

•Attach with wire nuts provided.

•Properly secure wire under plastic ties so that wire does not come in contact with moving parts.

•Reinstall the cover.

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