GROUNDING INFORMATION:
This piece of equipment must be grounded. Should an
electrical malfunction occur, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electrical current- reducing the risk
of electric shock. This piece of equipment is furnished
with a cord that has a grounding conductor and ground-
ing plug. The grounded plug must only be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
WARNING:
Connecting the equipment to an improperly grounded
outlet can result in an increased risk of electric shock. A
qualified electrician should be consulted if you are un-
sure that the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the equipment. If it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. Replace the plug if the grounding pin is dam-
aged or broken.
This appliance is designed for use on a 120-volt circuit.
The Green (or Green/Yellow) wire in the cord is the
grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must
be attached to the grounding pin only.
Extension cords connected to this machine should be
12 gauge, three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and
outlets. DO NOT use extension cords more than 25 feet
(7.6 m) long.
GFCI CORD FUNCTION:
The ENDEAVOR's power cords are equipped with a built
in GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter). The GFCI
function is automatic and, under normal operating con-
ditions, the GFCI function will not be activated.
A GFCI works by monitoring the amount of current that
is flowing from hot to neutral. If the GFCI senses an im-
balance in that flow, such as a ground leak, it will disable
(interrupt) the electrical system to eliminate dangerous
operating conditions. If the GFCI trips due to a tempo-
rary incident, you may restore function by pressing the
button on the GFCI box marked Reset "RESET" button
on the GFCI box.
RESET
TEST
If a GFCI continues to trip after resetting, it indicates
an unsafe operating condition is present and it is best to
take it to an authorized repair location for servicing.
POSSIBLE CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS TO
MALFUNCTIONING GFCI ARE:
•
Your equipment has become wet and moisture has
come in contact with the electrical system. Take unit
to an authorized repair location for servicing.
•
Your machine is submerged in liquid. If it is safe to
do so, remove the equipment and take unit to an
authorized repair location for servicing.
There is damage to the power cord. Replace the
•
power cord immediately with the correct spec
cord.
•
The wall plug or cord plug may be wet or in contact
with water. Using thick rubber gloves, unplug the
cord from the wall.
•
A leak in your machine's plumbing may be wetting
the internal electrical components. Take the unit to
an authorized repair location for servicing.
•
There is a loose or faulty electrical connection
somewhere in your equipment. Take the unit to an
authorized repair location for servicing.
GFCI MAINTENANCE:
Although the GFCI function works on its own, it is nec-
essary to test for proper function of your GFCI periodi-
cally. To do this:
1. Plug your equipment to an appropriate wall plug.
