IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT
PROPER GROUNDING
WARNING: Connect the
PowerTower
TM
to a properly
grounded outlet only. Improper
connection of the equipment
grounding connector can result
in the risk of electric shock. Do
not modify the plug that is
provided with the PowerTower. If
it will not fit in the outlet, have
aproper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
See grounding instructions.
Figure 1
FOLLOW THESE GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The PowerTower must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock.
The PowerTower is equipped with a Power Cord (S)
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if you arein doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the
product – if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Depending on your country of residence, you can
purchase a 120 VAC or 230 VAC PowerTower.
Some adapters may be permitted, similar to the type
explained below:
APowerTower that is for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Figure1. Atemporaryadapter that looks
like the adapter illustrated in Figure2may be used
to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown
in Figure 2 if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporaryadapter should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet (Figure 1) can
be installed by a qualified electrician. The green
colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the
adapter must be connected to a permanent ground
such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in
place by a metal screw.
