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,
