WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL
SHOCK
In the event of a short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of shock by providing an escape wire for the
electrical current. The StormPro 2100-DC must be
properly grounded.
The StormPro 2100-DC is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug. The plug must be used with an outlet
that has been installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances. The outlet must

prong adapter. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety
feature.
Use the StormPro 2100-DC only with adequate
wiring that is up to code. Connect to properly grounded
outlets only.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL
SHOCK
The StormPro 2100-DC is capable of and intended
to generate electrical current when unplugged from
the wall outlet or when the AC power is shut off.
