     § 509.  Regulation of manufacture, sale or lease of appliances.
        It is unlawful for any public utility engaged in the
     manufacture, sale, or lease of any appliance or equipment
     offered by such public utility for sale to the public to:
            (1)  Discontinue service to any consumer for failure of
        such consumer to pay the whole, or any installment, of the
        purchase price, or rental, of any appliance or equipment sold
        to such consumer.
            (2)  Apply to the purchase price or rental, or any part
        thereof, of any appliance or equipment purchased by, or
        leased to, a consumer of the service of the public utility,
        any deposit or other moneys of the consumer in the possession
        of the public utility. This restriction does not apply to any
        claims of the public utility against such consumer when such
        claims arise from damages to meters or other facilities used
        to measure and ascertain the quantity of service rendered by
        the public utility.
            (3)  Employ in the manufacture, sale, or lease of any
        such appliance or equipment, any property used in, or revenue
        derived from, the rendering of service to the public, unless
        separate accounts as to the property used and the costs
        incurred by, and the revenue derived from, the manufacture,
        lease, or sale of such appliance or equipment are adopted,
        used, and kept by the public utility.
            (4)  Employ in the manufacture, sale, or lease of any
        such appliance or equipment, the service of any officer or
        employee engaged in rendering service to the public, unless
        separate accounts as to the amount paid to such officer or
        employee, while engaged in the manufacture, lease or sale of
        such appliance or equipment, and whether any amount be
        salary, bonus, commission, or expense are adopted, used, and
        kept by the public utility.
