Grounding Instructions:
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. 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 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.
Grounded Plug
Extension Cords
When using the appliance at a distance where an extension cord becomes necessary, a 3-conductor grounding cord
of adequate size must be used for safety, and to prevent loss of power and overheating. Use the table to the left
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 cords 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 CONSOLE OR
INSTALLED HUMIDIFIER.
