Proper Grounding
LifeSpan equipment must be grounded. Improper connection of the equipment’s
grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualied
electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product or use a
ground plug adapter to adapt to a non-grounded outlet. If the plug will not t in
the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
