Installation Guide
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: The cover should be installed on a smooth, flat,
non-porous surface. To install on an irregular surface,
use a proper amount of caulking to ensure a watertight
seal between the back of the cover and the mounting
surface.
1. Disconnect power to circuit by removing fuse or turn
breakers to OFF before installing.
2. Remove the existing receptacle cover, if any, and
discard.
3. Back off the mounting screws that hold the GFCI or
receptacle to the junction box but do not remove
screws.
4. Place the cover on the box while mounting screws
come into the cover through the keyhole, and slide the
assembly to left. (see Figure 3).
Center the device in the box. Tighten screws.
5. If mounting to an FS or outdoor junction box use the
four screws provided to further secure the assembly to
the box.
6. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN SCREWS.
7. Choose appropriate insert and snap in by putting one
long edge in place first and rotating the plate over the
device. (If device is in the way, loosen screws and
move left or right). Discard other Insert (s).
8. For best rain protection, be sure to route cords through
the cord outlet and press the cover firmly until it snaps
closed.
