extension cords
When selecting an extension cord for use with Wyco electric motor cord sets using a 3-prong polarized
plug, an equivalent plug set must be used for the “Grounded” version.
A grounded motor requires a
grounded extension cord.
A 2-prong extension cord may be used for the “Double Insulated” motor.
Extension cords must be approved for outdoor use and the wire gauge of the cord must be appropriate
for the expected load from the following table.
