(3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local
codes do not permit grounding through the neutral.
3-WIRE POWER SUPPLY CORD KIT (not supplied)
The dryer MUST employ a 3-conductor power
supply cord NEMA 10-30 type SRDT rated at
240 volt AC minimum, 30 amp, with 3 open
end spade lug connectors with upturned ends
or closed loop connectors and marked for use
with clothes dryers. For 3-wire cord connection
