2. Grounding Instructions
This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.
DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Improper use of the
grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire
with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in
doubt whether the product is properly grounded.
NOTICE: Follow local codes when determining the connection
type. The temporary connection may not be permitted by local
electrical codes.
NOTICE: To avoid possible product malfunction, do not plug in the
seat until instructed.
Preferred Connection
Connect the grounding plug into a grounded outlet that has the
same configuration as the plug.

A temporary connection with a two-prong adapter may be used
where local codes permit, provided the adapter is grounded.
