G ROUNDING I NSTRUCTIONS

The Aspirator should be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical
shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
This Aspirator is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded.

DANGER

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electrical shock.

WARNING

Ground reliability can only be achieved when the power
cord is connected to an equivalent receptacle marked
"Hospital Grade".
