pools, hot tubs, e tc. Do not expose to
snow, rain, orwater to avoid the possibil-
ity of electrical shock. Do not handle ex-
tension cord or plug with wet hands.
S Use a volt age supply as shown on the
nameplate of the unit.
S Avoid danger ou s situati on s. Do no t use
in the presence of flammable liquids or
gases to avoid c r eat i ng a fi r e or explo-
sion and/o r causing dam ag e to unit.
S To reduce the r isk of electrical sh ock,
this appliance has a polari zed plug (one
blade is wider than the other) and will r e-
quir e t he use of a polari zed extension
cord. The appliance plug will fit into a po-
larize d extension cord only one way. If
the p l ug does not f it full y into the e xten-
sion cord, reverse the p lug. If the plug
stil l does not fi t , obtain a cor r ect polar-
ized extension cord. A polarized exten-
sion cord will requ ire the use o f a polar-
ized wall outlet. This plug w ill fit into the
polari zed w all outlet only one way . If
plug does not fit fully into the wal l outl et ,
reverse the plug. If the plug stil l does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper wal l out l et . Do n ot change the
equipment p l ug, extension c or d recep-
tacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
S To reduce ri sk of electr i cal shock, use
extension cords specificall y marked as
suitable for out door appliances. T he
electr i cal r at ing of the cord must not be
less than the rating of unit. The cord

tion must be intact with no cracks or de-
teri or at i on. Plug connector s must be
undamaged. An under sized extension
cord will cause a dr op in line v ol tage re-
sulting in lo ss of power and overheatin g.
If in doubt , use the next heavier gauge.
