Power

1 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

to establish permanent wiring

connection.

• Garage door installation and wiring

MUST be in compliance with ALL

local electrical and building codes.

THERE ARE TWO OPTIONS FOR CONNECTING POWER:Option A TYPICAL WIRING

1.1A Plug in the garage door opener into a grounded outlet. 1.2A DO NOT run garage door opener at this time.

Option B PERMANENT WIRING

• 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.

To avoid installation difficulties, do not activate the garage door 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 your outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.

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 (according to local code):

1.1B Be sure power is NOT connected to the opener, and disconnect power to circuit. 1.2B Remove the garage door opener cover and set aside.

1.3B Remove the attached green ground terminal.

1.4B Cut black and white wires and strip away 1/2" (1 cm) of insulation, 3" (7.5 cm) before spade terminals.

1.5B Remove the power cord from opener.

1.6B Install a conduit or flex cable adapter to the 7/8" hole.

1.7B Run wires through conduit, cut to proper length and strip insulation.

1.8B Attach with wire nuts provided. Attach the ground wire to the green ground screw.

The opener must be grounded.

1.9B Properly secure wire under plastic ties so that wire does not come in contact with moving parts.

1.10B Reinstall the cover. DO NOT run garage door opener at this time.
