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:
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-
IF IT WILL NOT FIT THE OUTLET, HAVE A PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in SKETCH A.
A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in SKETCHES B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in SKETCH B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (SKETCH 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.
SKETCH A
IN CANADA, THE USE OF A TEMPORARY ADAPTOR IS NOT PERMITTED BY THE CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE. Make sure that the
appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.

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 TABLE A to determine A.W.G. wire size required. To
determine ampere rating of your vacuum, refer to nameplate located on hose rail. 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 cord' s
plug. When vacuuming liquids, be sure the extension cord connection does not come in contact with the liquid.
