6.0 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This vacuum cleaner must be properly 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 vacuum cleaner is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor. The vacuum cleaner is supplied without an electrical plug. It is the user’s
responsibility to install a suitable plug certified for the hazardous locations area classification.
The plug should be installed by a qualified electrician only. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. Ensure that the fuse/breaker on the electrical panel is of the correct rating
and exceeds the maximum current rating shown on the technical data sticker of the vacuum
unit. Test the electrical continuity of the vacuum cleaner prior to each use. (See section 6:
testing for ground continuity).

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 an outlet is properly grounded.
If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper plug or outlet installed
by a qualified electrician. No adaptor should be used with this vacuum
cleaner

To effectively dissipate static electricity and to ensure spark-free
operation, this vacuum cleaner must be grounded during use.

Do not operate vacuum cleaner if the electrical outlet is not properly
grounded or if the grounding is questionable.
