Avoiding the risk of electrocution
CAUTION:

All electrical work should be done by a qualified
electrician, otherwise the certification and
warranty will be voided. Furthermore, any
modifications to the electrical components will
also void the warranty.
ELECTRICAL DANGER

Failure to comply with these instructions may
result in death by electrocution or serious injury.
Disconnect or turn off and secure all power
supplies before starting any intervention on the
Covana cover.

Always have a licensed electrical contractor
perform any electrical maintenance or repairs on
the Covana cover. The wiring must comply with
all applicable local electrical codes and
regulations.

The Covana operator must be connected to a
circuit that is protected by a Class A dedicated
GFCI that complies with all applicable local
electrical codes and regulations.

drainage directs water away from the electrical
components.

Do not connect any auxiliary components to the
electrical system of the Covana cover unless

To reduce the risk of electric shock, the green-
colored terminal or the terminal marked
“g,” “gr,”
“ground,” “grounding” or with the

compartment must be connected to the
grounding means provided in the electric supply
service panel with a continuous copper wire
equivalent in size to the circuit conductors
supplying the equipment.
