Connecting Extension Cord
NOTE: Do not plug your extension cord into the power source
receptacle (outlet) prior to routing it through the cord retainer
and connecting it to the snow thrower’s power cable.
To properly route your extension cord through the strain reliever:
1. Approximately 14 to 16 inches from its end, crease your
extension cord to form a tight loop.
2. Push the loop through the bottom of the strain reliever.
3. Position the loop over the clips found on the strain reliever
and pull down until the cord fits snugly into the clip. Plug
the snow thrower power cable into the extension cord. See
Figure 3-10.

cord is acceptable. Refer to the small chart found in Safe
Operation Practices.
