Page 9: Grounding Instructions
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord that contains a grounding wire with a grounding plug. DANGER – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripe is the grounding wire. Before attempting any repair or replacement, contact your authorized Drive dealer. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. -
