Securing the Extension Cord
1.
For safe and efficient use of your snow thrower, use only a
UL-, CSA- or ETL- rated extension cord recommended for
outdoor use. Refer to the Extension Cord Chart on
page 2.
2. Form a loop with the extension cord and push the loop
through the slot on the cord restraint hook. Position the
loop over the hook and pull the cable back through the
slot (Fig. 14). Securing the extension cord in this manner
will prevent it from accidentally disconnecting from the
power supply during operation.
3. Insert the female end of the extension cord into the
appliance's polarized male plug (Fig. 15).
4. Note that the snow thrower has a polarized male plug –
one prong in the plug is slightly longer and wider than the
other (Fig. 16). The extension cord female end should be
likewise polarized so that the extension cord fits snugly
into the appliance plug.
