ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

I m p o rtant: Use a 14 ga. or heavier extension cord with a maximum length of 100 ft.

Grounding Instructions

This shredder should be grounded while in use to reduce the risk of electric shock to the operator.

The shredder is equipped with a three-conductor cord and three-prong grounding plug. The green or green and yellow conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the green or green and yellow wire to a live terminal.

The shredder is intended for use on a circuit that has a grounded outlet box that looks like the one illustrated in figure 9, sketch A.

An adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated in figure 9, sketch B is available for connecting three- prong plugs to two-prong receptacles. The green col- ored rigid ear, lug, or the like on the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box, using a metal screw.

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

Extensions Cords

Only use three-wire extension cords that have three- prong grounding plugs and three-hole receptacles that accept the shredder’s plug. When using an extension cord, make sure that it is in good condition.

Use a 14 ga. or heavier extension cord with a maxi- mum length of 100 ft. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

Warning – To reduce the risk of electric shock, only use extension cords intended for outdoor use, such as cord types SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW- A, SJOW-A, SJTW- A or SJTOW- A .

To prevent disconnection of the shredder cord from the extension cord during operation, make a knot as shown in figure 10. Devices for retaining extension cords are also available at your local hardware retailer.

LE-900F specifications

The Flowtron Outdoor Products LE-900F is a superior outdoor mosquito and insect zapper designed to provide an effective solution for insect control in various settings. This model is celebrated for its robust design and advanced features, making it ideal for households, patios, gardens, and commercial outdoor areas.

One of the standout features of the LE-900F is its impressive coverage area. Capable of effectively protecting an area of up to one acre, it ensures that a wide radius is free from pesky insects. This large coverage makes it particularly useful for gatherings, barbeques, or outdoor events where insect presence can be more than just an annoyance.

The technological backbone of the LE-900F is its UV light attraction system. This device features a powerful ultraviolet bulb that emits light in the wavelength range most appealing to flying insects. Once attracted to the light, insects come into contact with an electrified grid which effectively zaps them, ensuring a swift and humane elimination.

Durability is another essential characteristic of the Flowtron LE-900F. Constructed with weather-resistant materials, this zapper is designed to withstand various outdoor conditions. It is built to endure exposure to rain, wind, and sun without compromising on performance. This longevity means that users can rely on the device throughout different seasons without the worry of it deteriorating.

Ease of use and maintenance are also significant factors in the design of the LE-900F. The unit includes a removable catch tray that allows for simple and straightforward cleaning, making maintenance a hassle-free task. Additionally, the device features a convenient hanging chain, allowing easy mounting in optimal locations for insect attraction.

Another important feature is its energy efficiency. The LE-900F operates on low wattage, translating to minimal energy consumption while still delivering maximum insect control. This not only contributes to cost savings but also aligns with environmentally-friendly practices.

In conclusion, the Flowtron Outdoor Products LE-900F is a powerful, durable, and efficient solution for insect control. Its wide coverage area, advanced UV light technology, weather-resistant construction, ease of maintenance, and energy efficiency make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to enjoy their outdoor spaces pest-free.
