Servicing of double-

insulated appliances

This vacuum cleaner is double insulat-
ed. In a double insulated appliance, two
systems of insulation are provided
instead of grounding.  No grounding
means is provided on a double-insulat-
ed appliance, nor should a means for
grounding be added.  Servicing a dou-
ble-insulated appliance requires
extreme care and knowledge of the sys-
tem,  and should be done only by quali-
fied service personnel.  

Replacement

parts must be identical to those parts
being replaced.  

A double-insulated

appliance is marked with the words
“DOUBLE-INSULATION” or “DOUBLE-
INSULATED”.  

The symbol      may also be marked on
the appliance.

Lubrication

The motor is equipped with bearings
that contain sufficient lubrication for the
life of the motor. The addition of lubricant
could cause damage. 

Therefore, do not

add lubricant to motor bearings.

The agitator is equipped with two ball
bearings that should be lubricated peri-
odically by a Pacific Floor Service 
Center.
