To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage door

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 diffi culties, do not run the opener
