SELECT AN EXTENSION CORD
Use only a 120 A.C. voltage supply as shown on nameplate of the unit to power your blower.
The extension cord used to reach the power source must be:
DSpecifically marked as suitable for out- door use. The cord must be marked with
the suffix “W-A” (in Canada “W”).
DHeavy enough to carry full current from the power source 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 available.) Do not
use multiple cords.
DIn good condition. Cord insulation must be intact with no cracks or deterioration. Plug connectors must be undamaged. DO NOT use multiple cords.
