NOTE: Do not plug your extension cord into the power source
receptacle (outlet) prior to routing it through the cord retainer
and connecting the extension cord to the mower's cord outlet
receptacle.
To properly route your extension cord through the cord retainer:
1. Approximately 14- to 16-inches from its end, crease your
extension cord to form a tight loop.
2. Push the loop through the bottom hole in the cord retainer.
See Fig. 3-4A.
3. Position the loop over the clip found on the cord retainer
and pull down until the cord fits snugly into the clip. See
Fig. 3-4B.

NOTE: Use a UL-approved extension cord. A 100-foot,
14-gauge cord is recommended. A 50-foot, 16-gauge
cord is acceptable. Refer to the small chart found in Safe
Operation Practices.
The cord retainer and the guide bar work together to secure your
extension cord and safely limit its movement. The cord retainer
(with the extension cord) will slide along the guide bar as the
mower is moved to the left or to the right.
