breakdown, grounding provides a

path of least resistance for electric

current to reduce the risk of electric

shock. This compressor is equipped

a grounding plug. The plug must be

plugged into a matching outlet that

is properly installed and grounded in

2.

will not fit the outlet, have the proper

outlet installed by a qualified electri-

cian.
Improper connection of the equip-

ment-grounding conductor can re-

sult in a risk of electric shock. The

conductor with insulation having an

outer surface that is green with or

without yellow stripes is the equip-

ment-grounding conductor. If repair

or replacement of the electric cord or

plug is necessary, do not connect the

equipment-grounding conductor to a

live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or

service personnel if the grounding

instructions are not completely under-

stood, or if in doubt as to whether the

compressor is properly grounded.

compressor’s plug.
