WARNING
Use only extensions cords that are intended for outdoor use. These extension cords are identified
by a marking “Acceptable for use with outdoor appliances; store indoors while not in use.” Use only
extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the product. Do not use dam-
aged extension cords. Examine extension cords before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse
extension cords and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cords away from heat and sharp
edges. Always disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnection the product
form the extension cord.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch the
plug with wet hands.
WARNING
Use of undersize extension cords result in low voltage to the motor that can result in motor burnout
and premature failure. MK Diamond warns that equipment returned to us showing signs of being run
in a low voltage condition, through the use of undersized extension cords will be repaired or replaced
totally at the customers expense. There will be no warranty claim.
To choose the proper extension cord,
• Locate the length of extension cord needed in table provided.
• Once the proper length is found, move down the column to obtain the correct AWG size
required for that length of extension cord. For example, a fifty foot extension cord would require
an AWG size of 14 for a 230V volt circuit.
