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 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, 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 outlet. Do not

change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension 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 "W-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
