When using a strain relief bushing, you should follow these recommendations:

•Use properly sized parts (see Table 1 for the power cord diameter)

•Use bushings that are safety certified

•Use parts that are suitable for outdoor installation

---

Caution If your power cord does not use an AC power plug, you must ensure that the power source is OFF before connecting or disconnecting the power cord wires from the power source.
