INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS
Inspect all extension cords periodically. Look closely for
deterioration, cuts or cracks in the insulation. Inspect the
connectors for damage. Replace cords if defective or
damaged.
STORAGE
• Store the unit indoors, away from moisture and
harmful substances such as fertilizers and solvents.
• Store the unit indoors in a locked up and dry, or high
and dry place to prevent unauthorized use or damage,
out of the reach of children.
CLEANING
WARNING: To avoid serious personal
injury, be sure the unit is off and unplugged
before cleaning or performing any
maintenance on it.
1. Switch off the unit and disconnect it from the
power source.
2. Use a small brush or the air discharge of a
vacuum cleaner brush to keep the air vents
free of obstructions.
3. Do not use strong detergents on the plastic housing
or components. These can be damaged by certain
household cleaners that contain aromatic oils such
as pine and lemon, and by solvents such as kerosene
or acetone. Moisture can also cause a shock hazard.
Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.
