GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
THESE VACUUMS MUST BE GROUNDED. If a vacuum should malfunction or stop working,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current, thereby reducing the
risk of electrical shock. This unit is equipped with a cord that has an equipment-grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted in an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Cutting
off the ground wire or using a cord that is not equipped with a ground plug will void the
warranty on the unit, and ProTeam will accept NO liability associated with the unit.
WARNING
The vacuum cleaners in this manual are for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and have
a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure AA. A temporary
adaptor that looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketches B and C may be used to connect
this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet
(sketch A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the
like extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a prop-
erly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a
metal screw.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical
Code.
For Canada – This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounded
attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure AA. Make sure that
the vacuums are connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No
adaptor should be used with the vacuums detailed in this manual.
