USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. 14.
Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. Table A
shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.

nance should be performed regularly by
