GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT'D.)
WARNING
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 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 properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
IN CANADA, THE USE OF A TEMPORARY ADAPTOR IS NOT PERMITTED BY THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL
CODE. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No
adaptor should be used with this appliance.
SKETCH A
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 Table A to determine A.W.G. wire size required. To determine
ampere rating of your vacuum, refer to nameplate located on motor housing. 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 APPLIANCE. 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.
Remove vacuum cleaner and all accessories from the carton. Important: Open tank cover by pushing latches
or clamps outward with thumbs and remove any accessories that may have been shipped in the tank.
