INSTALLATION STEP 10
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.
If permanent wiring is required by your local code,
refer to the following procedure.
To make a permanent connection through the 7/8" (2 cm)
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.

To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution or fire:
• Disconnect ALL electric and battery power BEFORE
performing ANY service or maintenance.
• 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.
