[R-390] Finally!!!

[Bob Camp]

Hi,

The three wire cord ground goes to one of the studs in the vicinity of the
power connection. If you do not have a line cord cover plate I would
recommend either getting one or making one. Without a cover there is a major
health hazard there.

Be careful with a lot of WD-40 and an open flame. I suspect the stuff is
flammable.

    Take Care!
