1. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120
volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this product on direct current (DC).
A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat.
If the product does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.
2. DRIP LOOP
To prevent water from flowing along the power cable, and possibly reaching the electrical outlet and
plug, we recommend using a simple drip loop as shown below.
