FIELD INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
To install pigtail cord onto your vacuum, read the following carefully.
1.
MAKE SURE THE MACHINE HAS BEEN UNPLUGGED FROM POWER SUPPLY.
2. Remove the dome by removing the four screws and nuts that hold it to the lid. Be careful to note
the location of small spacers; four short and four long. For vacuum machines other than Minute-
man, consult your distributor for removal of its dome or equivalent.
3. Unwrap the black plastic electrical tape from around the switch and remove the wires that go to
the motor only - not those of the power supply cord - taking care to note the location of the wires.
4. Locate a spot about one inch to the right of the cord and in line with the cord. Drill a 5/8 inch
diameter hole.
5. Insert the supplied pigtail cord into the hole and attach one wire to a terminal on each side of the
switch along with each of the motor wires you disconnected from the switch. Tighten the terminal
screws down securely.
6. Take the green grounding wire that is left and attach it to the motor frame using the same screw
that the other two green wires are attached with. Make sure all three wires are securely screwed
into place.
7. Rewrap the switch with new electrical tape. Be sure to wrap all bare wires and terminal com-
pletely and tightly.
