FOR CORD CONNECTED APPLIANCE

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.  Your central vacuum system
is supplied with an electrical cord having a grounding pin.  It is recommended that this plug be used
only with an    appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.  This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit (U.S. only) or 230/250
volt circuits where applicable, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug shown in Figure A.  A
temporary adapter, that looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure B, may be used to connect this plug
to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

15.  Do not handle electric hose or inlets with wet hands.
16.  Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of the body away from wand, other openings
and moving parts.
17.  If so equipped, do not use your central vacuum system without dustbag and/or filters in place.
18.   Always disconnect vacuum system before emptying dirt canister, cleaning filters or replacing
dustbag.
19.  Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
20.  Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline or use in areas
where such liquids may be present.
