INSTALLATION STEP 9
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.
