ELECTRICAL SAFETY
aWARNING:
Avoid a dangerous envi-
ronment. TO reduce the risk of electrical
shock, do not use in rain, in damp or wet loca-
tions, or around swimming pools, hot tubs,
etc. Do not expose to snow, rain, or water to
avoid the possibility of electrical shock.
• Use a voltage supply as shown on unit.
• Avoid dangerous situations. Do not use in
the presence of flammable iiquids or gases
to avoid creating a fire or explosion and/or
causing damage to unit.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this
equipment has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other) and will require the
use of a polarized extension cord. The ap-
pliance plug will fit into a polarized exten-
sion cord only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a
correct polarized extension cord. A polar-
ized extension cord will require the use of a
polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into
the polarized wall outlet only one way. If
plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, re-
verse the piug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper wall
outlet. Do not change the equipment plug,
extension cord receptacle, or extension
cord plug in any way.
• TO reduce risk of electrical shock, use ex-
tension cords specifically marked as suit-
able for outdoor appliances having electri-
cal rating not less than the rating of unit.
Cord must be marked with suffix "W-A" (in
Canada "W"). Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. Inspect extension
cord before use and replace if damaged. Do
not use a damaged cord. Cord insulation
must be intact with no cracks or detedora-
tion. Plug connectors must be undamaged.
An undersized extension cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of pow-
erand overheating. Ifindoubt, usethenext
heavier gauge. The lower the gauge num-
ber, the heavier the cord (see SELECT AN
EXTENSION CORD in the OPERATION
section).
• Do not use multiple cords.
