To reduce the risk of electric shock, your garage door opener has

only fi t into a grounding type outlet. If the plug doesn’t fi t into the
outlet you have, contact a qualifi ed 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:
• 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 diffi culties, do not run the opener at this
time.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from
electrocution or fi re:
• Disconnect ALL electric and battery power BEFORE
performing ANY service or maintenance.

INSTALLATION STEP 9
Attach the Emergency Release Rope and Handle
• Thread one end of the rope through the hole in the top of the red
handle so “NOTICE” reads right side up as shown. Secure with
an overhand knot at least 1" (2.5 cm) from the end of the rope to
prevent slipping.
• Thread the other end of the rope through the hole in the release
arm of the outer trolley.
• Adjust rope length so the handle is 6 feet (1.83 m) above the
fl oor. Ensure that the rope and handle clear the tops of all
vehicles to avoid entanglement. Secure with an overhand knot.
NOTE: If it is necessary to cut the rope, heat seal the cut end with a
match or lighter to prevent unraveling.
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a falling
garage door:
• If possible, use emergency release handle to disengage
trolley ONLY when garage door is CLOSED. Weak or broken
springs or unbalanced door could result in an open door
falling rapidly and/or unexpectedly.
• NEVER use emergency release handle unless garage
doorway is clear of persons and obstructions.
• NEVER use handle to pull door open or closed. If rope knot
becomes untied, you could fall.
