ELECTRICAL SAFETY (for electric

WARNING: Avoid a dangerous envi-

ronment. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,

do not use in rain, in damp or wet locations, or

around swimming pools, hot tubs, etc. Do not

expose to snow, rain, or water to avoid the pos-

sibility of electrical shock. Do not use on wet

surfaces. Do not handle extension cord plug or

nameplate of the unit.

S Avoid dangerous situations. Do not use in

presence of flammable liquids or gases to

avoid creating a fire or explosion and/or

causing damage to unit.

S Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use

in unventilated areas or where dust or ex-

plosive vapors can build up.

S To reduce the risk of electric shock, the

powerhead may have a polarized plug (one

blade is wider than the other); if so, it will re-

quire the use of a polarized extension cord.

The appliance plug will fit into a polarized

extension cord only one way. If the plug

does not fit fully into the extension cord, re-

verse the plug. If the plug still does not fit,

obtain a correct polarized extension cord.

A polarized 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, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,

contact a qualified electrician to install the

proper wall outlet. Do not change the equip-

ment plug, extension cord receptacle, or

extension cord plug in any way.

S 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
