Tips
PSOA’s should
be treated with care, there is some general and important guidance
which you should always follow when using these products.
•
Do Not modify the product in any way.
•
Do Not step on, pull, fold or knot the cables.
•
Do Not suspend heavy items / tools from the socket outlets.
•
Do Not use excessive force when maneuvering or stowing the PSOA, using
excessive force can damage the product.
•
Do Not suspend from the supply cable.
•
Do Not drop large or heavy objects onto product or the supply cable.
•
Do Not drive on/over.
•
Do Not cover with any materials.
•
Do Not overload.
•
Do Not submerge any part of the product in water.
•
Keep away from high temperature objects.
•
Fully uncoil the cable/cord before use, keep fully uncoiled at all times during use.
•
Always ensure the RCBO cover is securely closed / sealed to prevent water ingress.
•
If the product is damaged in any way cease use immediately.
•
Keep out of reach of children, this is not a toy.
STANDARD 10A PLUGS:
Standard 10A plugs appropriate to worksite use can be attached to the PSOA but the
connection will not be IP66 rated.
•
These standard plugs should be disconnected in the event of rain and the IP66 covers closed.
•
Do NOT stress the plugs or cables on angles or drag the PSOA from the socket outlets. This can
cause damage to the socket outlets, internal copper contacts and the product itself. Plugs
should not be under physical load during use.
•
When inserting or removing plugs from power outlets never use undue force. Always insert
and remove from sockets in a straight smooth action.
•
Forcing plugs into power outlets on an angle can damage the copper contacts inside.
•
When removing plugs do not force/yank out of sockets.
•
Ensure plugs are fully inserted into the power outlets at all times during use
–
never use when
the plug is partially inserted into the power outlet.
PLEASE NOTE:
If you use tools or appliances that regularly apply movement or stress to the plug, while it is inside
the socket, this can result in damage to the socket outlet. Constant movement of the plug (inside
the socket) can cause degradation or deform the internal copper parts - over time this can result
in the socket no longer being able to grip onto the plug pins and can cause a poor electrical
contact. Plugs should not be under physical load when connected to socket outlets.
