Use of adapter plug

(U-volt 

 only)

Because of potential safety hazards
under certain conditions, we

strongly recommend against use
of an adapter plug. 

However,

if you still elect to use an adapter,

where local codes permit, a
TEMPORARY 
may be made to a properly grounded
two-prong wall outlet by use of a

 listed adapter (Fig. 2) available

at most local hardware stores.

INSURE PROPER 
ANO FIRM 
BEFORE USE

The larger 

 in the adapter must be

aligned with the larger slot in the wall
outlet to provide proper polarity in
the connection of the power cord.

CAUTION: 

Attaching the adapter

ground terminal to wall outlet cover
screw does not ground the 
unless cover screw is 

 and not

insulated, and 

 outlet is grounded

through house wiring. You should
have the circuit checked by a 
electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded.

 

 power cord

from the adapter, 

always hold the

adapter with one hand.   this is not
done, the adapter ground terminal is
very likely to break with repeated use.

Should the adapter ground

terminal break, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground
has again 

been established.

Use of 

 cords

Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we 

 

 against the

use of an 

 cord. 

However,

if you 

 elect to use an extension

cord, it is absolutely necessary that
it be a 

 

 3-wire grounding

type appliance extension cord and
that the current carrying rating of
the cord in amperes be equal to or
greater than the branch circuit size
shown on the rating nameplate of
the appliance.
