Grounding Instructions

The compactor is for use on a single phase,
115-volt, 60 Hz, AC only 15 or 20 ampere
fused and properly grounded circuit and is
equipped with a grounding plug as shown
below. Time delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance be
provided. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. Do not modify the plug
attached to the compactor; use only with a
grounded receptacle.
This compactor must be grounded while in
use to reduce the risk of electric shock. The
compactor is equipped with a three-conductor
cord and three-prong grounding-type plug to
fit the proper grounding-type receptacle. The
green — or green and yellow — conductor in
the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect
the green — or green and yellow — wire to a
live terminal. The outlet should be properly
installed and grounded in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances. No adapter should be used with
this appliance.
