is recommended. A 50-foot, 16-gauge cord is acceptable. Refer to the
small chart found in Safe Operation Practices.
The cord retainer and the guide bar work together to secure your
extension cord and safely limit its movement. The cord retainer (with
the extension cord) will slide along the guide bar as the mower is
moved to the left or to the right.
