When relocating the machine, contact your Service Provider.
When moving the machine, be sure to unplug the power cord from the outlet. If the machine is moved with the power cord attached, it can cause damage to the cord which could result in fire or electric shock.
Power and Ground Connection Cautions
WARNING
Ensure that the plug connection is free of dust. In a damp environment, a contaminated connector can draw a significant amount of current that can generate heat and eventually cause fire over an extended period of time.
Always use the power cord provided with your machine. When an extension power cord is required, always use a properly rated cord.
If you use a cord with an unspecified current rating, the machine or plug may emit smoke or become hot to the touch externally.
Do not attempt to rework, pull, bend, chafe or otherwise damage the power cord. Do not place a heavy object on the cord. A damaged cord can cause fire or electric shocks.
