WARNING
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. In
the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for
the electric current. This product is
equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
•
Improper installation of the grounding plug
is able to result in a risk of electric shock.
•
When repair or replacement of the cord or
plug is required, do not connect the
grounding wire to either flat blade terminal.
•
The wire with insulation having an outer
surface that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the grounding wire.
•
Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman when the grounding
instructions are not completely
understood, or when in doubt as to
whether the product is properly grounded.
•
Do not modify the plug provided; if it does
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
•
This product is for use on a nominal 230V
circuit and has a grounding plug similar to
the plug illustrated in the figures.
•
Only connect the product to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug.
•
Do not use an adapter with this product.
WARNING
Extension Cords:
•
Use only a 3-wire extension
cord that has a grounding plug
and a grounding receptacle
that accepts the plug on the
product.
•
An undersized cord results in a
drop in line voltage and loss of
power and overheating.When
in doubt use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge
number the heavier the cord.
•
When using the sprayer outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
•
Make sure your extension cord is not
damaged. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use a cord heavy enough to carry
the current that your sprayer draws. See
chart for appropriate sizes and lengths:
