•Specifically marked as suitable for out- door use. The cord must be marked

with the suffix WV-A" (in Canada "W")=

•Heavy enough to carry full current from the power source to the unit. Otherwise, loss of power and over-

heating can occur causing damage to unit. Refer to table for minimum wire

gauge recommendations. The cord must be marked with the proper wire gauge. (Appropriate extension cords

are available.) Do not use multiple cords.

•In good condition. Cord insulation must be intact with no cracks or

deterioration. Plug connectors must be

undamaged. DO NOT use multiple cords.
