OPERATION
CONNECTING TO A POWER SOURCE
Use only a polarized (i.e., one blade is wider
than the other), UL listed (CSA certified in
Canada) extension cord recommended for
outdoor use. A polarized plug will fit in a
polarized cord only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the cord, reverse the cord and
try again. If it still does not fit then you are not
using a proper extension cord and you should
8
purchase a polarized extension cord. Never
attempt to force fit an extension cord or change
the cords design to make it fit better.

NOTE: Do not use an extension cord over
150 feet.
If you do not fully seat the extension
cord on the inlet plug, the loose plug
could lead to overheating and cause a
fire, possibly burning you or others.
Ensure that you fully seat the cord on
the plug and use the cord lock feature to
secure the cord.
IMPORTANT: Check the power cord
frequently during use for holes in the
insulation. Do not use a damaged cord. Do not
run the cord through standing water or wet grass.
