This machine must have a ground prong in the
plug to help ensure that it is grounded. DO NOT
remove ground prong from plug to fit into a
two-pronged outlet! If the plug will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.

We do not recommend the use of extension cords,
but if you find it absolutely necessary:
• Use at least a 16 gauge cord that does not
exceed 50 feet in length!
• The extension cord must also contain a ground
wire and plug pin.
• A qualified electrician MUST size cords over 50
feet long to prevent motor damage.
