SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance
is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The
plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
– IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT-
GROUNDING CONDUCTOR CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
CHECK WITH A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN OR SERVICE PERSON IF YOU
ARE IN DOUBT AS TO WHETHER THE OUTLET IS PROPERLY GROUNDED.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED WITH THE APPLIANCE – IF IT
WILL NOT FIT THE OUTLET, HAVE A PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks
like the plug illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter 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 adapter 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 adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place
by a metal screw.
NOTE: IN CANADA, THE USE OF A TEMPORARY
ADAPTER IS NOT PERMITTED BY THE CANADIAN
ELECTRICAL CODE.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using the appliance at a distance
where an extension cord becomes
necessary, a 3-conductor grounding
cord of adequate size must be used
for safety, and to prevent loss of power
and overheating. Use the table below
to determine A.W.G. wire size required.
To determine ampere rating of your
vacuum, refer to nameplate located on
rear of motor cover. Before using appliance, inspect power cord for loose or exposed wires and
damaged insulation. Make any needed repairs or replacements before using your appliance.
Use only three-wire outdoor extension cords which have three-prong grounding-type plugs and
three-pole receptacles which accept the extension cord's plug. When vacuuming liquids, be
sure the extension cord connection does not come in contact with the liquid.
NOTE: STATIC SHOCKS ARE COMMON IN DRY AREAS OR WHEN THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY OF
THE AIR IS LOW. THIS IS ONLY TEMPORARY AND DOES NOT AFFECT THE USE OF THE APPLI-
ANCE. TO REDUCE THE FREQUENCY OF STATIC SHOCKS IN YOUR HOME, THE BEST REMEDY IS
TO ADD MOISTURE TO THE AIR WITH A CONSOLE OR INSTALLED HUMIDIFIER.
