ence of alcohol, drugs, or medica-

tion. Watch what you are doing; use

ELECTRICAL SAFETY (for electric
powerheads)

'4g_,WARNING: Avoid a dangerous
environment. To reduce the risk of elec-

trical shock, do not use in rain, in damp
or wet locations, or around swimming

pools, hot tubs, etc. Do not expose to

snow, rain, or water to avoid the possi-

bility of electrical shock. Do not use on

wet surfaces. Do not handle extension
cord plug or unit with wet hands.

• Use only a voltage supply as shown
on the nameplate of the unit.

• Avoid dangerous situations. Do not
use in presence of flammable liquids

or gases to avoid creating a fire or ex-
plosion and/or causing damage to

unit.

• Avoid dangerous environments. Do
not use in unventilated areas or

where dust or explosive vapors can
build up.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock,
the powerhead may have a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the oth-

er); if so, it will require the use of a po-
larized extension cord. The appliance

plug will fit into a polarized extension
cord only one way. If the plug does

not fit fully into the extension cord, re-
verse the plug. If the plug still does

not fit, obtain a correct polarized ex-
tension cord. A polarized extension
cord will require the use of a polarized

wall outlet. This plug will fit into the po-
larized wall outlet only one way. If plug

does not fit fully into the wall outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install

the proper wall outlet. Do not change
the equipment plug, extension cord

receptacle, or extension cord plug in
any way.

• To reduce risk of electrical shock, use
extension cords specifically marked

as suitable for outdoor appliances
having electrical rating not less than

the rating of unit. Cord must be
marked with suffix "W-A" (in Canada

"W"). Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition. Inspect extension

cord before use and replace if dam-
aged. Do not use a damaged cord.

Cord insulation must be intact with no
cracks or deterioration. Plug connec-

tors must be undamaged. The exten-
sion cord used to reach the power

source must be heavy enough to
