GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER: IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDING PLUS CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK.
Electrical equipment must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The vacuum is equipped with a cord
containing a 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.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary. DO NOT connect the grounded wire to a at bed
terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
grounding wire.
GROUNDING METHODS
This electric equipment is for use on a normal 120 volt circuit. It has a grounded plug that looks like a the plug
illustrated in (Fig A). A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in (Fig B & C) may be used to
connect this plug into a 2-pole receptacle as shown in (Fig B) if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig A) can be installed by a
qualied electrician. The green color 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.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with
a qualied 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 equipment. If it will not t into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualied electrician.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

bumping across thresholds and other misuses may result in a damaged unit which will not be covered under
