DRIP LOOP:
This lamp fixture must be used near
a grounded receptacle with a “drip
loop”
(see figure 1). The drip loop will
prevent water from running along the
power cord and getting the plug or wall
receptacle wet. To create a drip loop,
be sure that a portion of the power
cord is lower than the level of the wall
receptacle as shown in figure 1. If for
any reason the plug or wall receptacle
gets wet, do not grasp or unplug the
power cord until after the power has
been switched off at the main fuse or
circuit breaker.
GROUNDED PLUG:
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this lamp fixture has a three-prong plug
and must be plugged into a grounded
three-prong receptacle
(see figure
2). The receptacle must also be GFCI
protected. If you are unsure about the
electrical supply and connection, con-
tact a qualified licensed electrician.
