Using the Cord Retainer
An extension cord retainer is suspended on the cord
guide bar found on the upper handle.
NOTE: Do not plug your extension cord into the power
source receptable (outlet) prior to routing it
through the cord retainer and connecting the
extension cord to the cultivator's
cord outlet
receptacle.
To properly route your extension cord through the cord
retainer:
1. Approximately
14- to 16-inches from its end, crease
your extension cord to form a tight loop.
2.
Push the loop through the bottom hole in the cord
retainer (Fig. 3).
3.
Position the loop over the clip found on the cord
retainer and pull down until the cord fits snugly into
the clip (Fig. 4).
NOTE: Use a UL-approved extension cord. A 100-foot,
14-gauge cord is recommended.
A 50-foot, 16-
gauge cord is acceptable.
Refer to the small chart
found on Page 3.
The cord retainer and the guide bar work together to
secure your extension cord and safely limit its movement.
The cord retainer (with the extension cord) will slide along
the guide bar as the cultivator is moved to the left or to
the right (Fig. 5).
