ELECTRICAL SAFETY (for electric

WARNING: Avoid a dangerous envi-
ronment. To reduce the risk of electrical 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 possibility of electrical shock. Do not use on wet
surfaces. Do not handle extension cord plug or

presence of flammable liquids or gases to
avoid creating a fire or explosion and/or
causing damage to unit.
S Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use
in unventilated areas or where dust or explosive vapors can build up.
S To reduce the risk of electric shock, the
powerhead may have a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other); if so, it will require the use of a polarized 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, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit,
obtain a correct polarized extension cord.
A polarized extension cord will require the
use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will
fit into the polarized 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 theequipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or
extension cord plug in any way.
S To reduce risk of electrical shock, use ex-
tension 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 damaged. Do
not use a damaged cord. Cord insulation
