This dryer must be grounded! Grounding is a safety measure to reduce the risk of electrical shock to the operator
should the machine malfunction or stop working. Grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric current
and will trip the circuit breaker, stopping the flow of electricity.
This unit is equipped with a cord containing an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must
be inserted in an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Cutting off the ground wire or using a cord that is not equipped with a ground plug will void the warranty
on the unit. Powr-Flite will accept NO liability associated with the unit.
This dryer is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Figure A. If a properly grounded outlet is not available, a temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in
Figure B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as show in Figure B. The temporary adapter
should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Figure A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-
colored rigid ear, lug, or the like, extending for 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.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
The replacement or repair of damaged wiring should only be performed by a qualified
electrician or service engineer from the manufacturer or authorized service center.
groundIng InStructIonS
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified 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 appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
