your personal protection from electrical shock. Do

break the
continuity of the grounding circuit connected to that third
pin.

connect
to a non-ground (only 2-prong) recep.tacIe. Check the pofarity

your
power source.

warning devices to be displayed when necessary.

off
the
roadway as far as possible when changing flats or
for
other
emergency situations. Turn on your vehicular hazard warning
flashers when parked alongside
a
roadway,
if
only for
a
minute or
two.
