breaker
is
recommended
It is recommended
that a

within
wide voltage
limits, but proper grounding
and polarity
are necessary.
In addition
to
checking
that the outlet provides
120-volt
power
and is correctly
grounded,
the outlet
must be checked
by a qualified
electrician
to see if it is wired with correct

grounding-
type wall receptacle,
grounded
in
accordance
with the National
Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition*
and
local codes and ordinances.
See Figure 1.
If a mating
wall receptacle
is not available,
