SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GROUND INSTRUCTION
ALL GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED
TOOLS:
1.
In the event of a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock.
This pump
is equipped with an electric cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into a matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
2.
Do not modify the plug provided--if it
will not fit the outlet, have proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
3.
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock.
The conductor with
insulation having an outer surface that is
green with or without yellow stripes is the
equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding conductor to a live terminal.
4.
Check with a qualified electrician
or service personnel if the grounding
instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
tool is properly grounded.
5.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that
have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole
receptacles that accept the pump’s plug.
6.
Repair or replace damaged or worn
cord immediately.
GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED TOOLS
INTENDED FOR USE ON A SUPPLY
CIRCUIT HAVING A NOMINAL RATING
LESS THAN 150 VOLTS:
This pump is intended for use on a circuit
that has an outlet that looks like the one
illustrated in Sketch A in FIG.1.
The tool
has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Sketch A in FIG.1. A temporary
adapter, which looks like the adapter
illustrated in Sketches B and C, may be used
to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle
as shown in Sketch B if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a qualified
electrician can install a properly grounded
outlet. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and
the like, extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground, such as
a properly grounded outlet box.
PERMANENTLY CONNECTED TOOLS
This pump should be connected to a
grounded metal permanent wiring system;
or to a system having an equipment-
grounding conductor.
