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 plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER

Improper connection of an equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person of 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 technician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A temporary adaptor which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure B maybe used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet, Figure A, can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear lug, or the like, extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

Maintenance

Warning! Always unplug vacuum before cleaning, or making any adjustments or repairs.

• Check the power cord for damage. Always unwind the cable completely.
• Ensure that the vacuum hose, the extension wand and the vacuuming accessories are not blocked.
• Ensure that the electrical outlet and the plug are securely connected. Incorrect connections may cause sparking and damage to the cable socket.
• Have your machine serviced by an authorized repair service center if you suspect any potential problems.
• Use only approved paper vacuum bags.

• Ensure that the flexible vacuum bag ring provides a proper seal before vacuuming.

• Loosen all the straps and place the vacuum on your back.
