Transporting your Vacuum
To move your vacuum cleaner from room to room, unplug the unit and either push
the appliance or carry using the carry handle.
Never pull or carry the vacuum cleaner by its cord.
• When using an extension cord, be
sure to
use one heavy enough to carry
the current
your product will draw. An
undersized cord
will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in
loss of power
and overheating.
The following table shows the correct
size
to use depending on cord length
and
nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the
gauge number, the heavier
the cord.
