Grounding Instructions

This product should 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 that contains a grounding wire with a grounding plug.

DANGER – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripe is the grounding wire. Before attempting any repair or replacement, contact your authorized Drive dealer.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.

This product has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in figure A below. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in figure B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until properly grounded outlet (figure A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, tab or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by the screw.

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a three-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product. Replace or repair if damaged.
