SELECT AN EXTENSION CORD
Use only a 120 A.C. voltage supply as shown on nameplate of the unit to power your blower.
•To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this equipment has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized ex- tension 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, reverse 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 out- let. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or ex- tension cord plug in any way,
The extension cord used to reach the power source must be:
•Specifically marked as suitable for out- door use, The cord must be marked with the suffix
•Heavy enough to carry current from the power source the full length of ex- tension cord to the unit. Otherwise, loss of power and overheating can oc- cur causing damage to unit. Refer to table for minimum wire gauge recom- mendations, The cord must be marked with the proper wire gauge. (Appropriate extension cords are avail- able.) 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.
