Installation Notes

This cord should be installed by a qualified electrician or used by a trained professional familiar with NEC guidelines for temporary wiring and extension cord use. Verify that the connected load does not exceed 15 amps to prevent overheating or tripping of the branch circuit breaker. Never run extension cords through walls, ceilings, or under carpets, and do not daisy-chain multiple cords together. Inspect the jacket for cuts, abrasions, or damage before each use and replace the cord if insulation integrity is compromised.
