This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding pro-
vides 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 nomi-
nal 120-volt circuit, and has a
grounded plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in
sketch A
.
NOTE:
IN CANADA, THE USE OF A
TEMPORARY ADAPTER IS NOT PER-
MITTED BY THE CANADIAN
ELECTRICAL CODE.
When using the appliance at a
distance where an extension cord
becomes necessary, a 3-conduc-
tor grounding cord of adequate
size must be used for safety, and
to prevent loss of power and over-
heating. 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 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.

UNPACKING AND SET-UP
WARNING
– ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PLUG
FROM THE WALL OUTLET BEFORE REMOVING THE TANK
COVER.
To pick up dust and dry material, you must install foam sleeve and reusable dry fil-
ter to ensure proper filtration. If the vacuum has been used to pick up liquids, the
foam sleeve must be cleaned and dried before installing for dry pick up. With tank
cover in an upside down position, slide foam sleeve down over lid cage pulling until
foam sleeve completely covers lid cage
(Figure 7)
. NOTE: Bottom of foam sleeve
must be positioned on the OUTSIDE of groove around lid cage for the reusable dry
filter to fit properly
(Figure 8, 8a)
. Center the reusable dry filter on lid cage
(Figure
9)
, slide mounting ring down over filter until ring is positioned against the ribs of the
lid cage
(Figure 10)
. The reusable dry filter should always be in position over the
foam sleeve for dry pick-up. To remove the filter for cleaning, remove mounting ring
and filter from lid cage
(Figure 11)
. To clean the reusable dry filter, shake off excess
dirt and dust or (depending on the condition of the filter) rinse with water. Allow the
filter to dry completely and re-install. DO NOT MACHINE WASH OR DRY.
IMPORTANT:
BEFORE INSTALLING REUSABLE FILTER BE SURE THAT FOAM SLEEVE
IS OUTSIDE OF GROOVE AND AROUND LID CAGE.
