A) FOR ALL DOUBLE-INSULATED LAWN
MOWERS
1) Replacement Parts
When servicing use only identical
replacement parts.
2) Polarized Appliance Connections
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other) and will
require the use of a polarized extension
cord. The appliance plug will fit into a
polarized extension cord only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully into the
extension cord, reverse the plug. If the
plug still does not fit, obtain a correct
polarized extension cord. A polarized
extension cord will require the use of
a polarized wall outlet. This plug will
fit into the polarized wall outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully
into the wall outlet, reverse the plug.
If the plug still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install the
proper wall outlet. Do not change
the equipment plug, extension cord
receptacle, or extension cord plug in
any way.
