2.0 Grounding Instructions

DANGER: IMPROPER GROUNDING METHOD CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Electrical equipment must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current and reduces the risk
of electric shock. The vacuum is equipped with a cord containing a 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.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the grounded
wire to a flat bed terminal. The green insulated wire, with or without yellow stripes, is the
grounding wire.
The BISSELL BigGreen Commercial High-Speed Burnisher operates on a 10.8 amp
nominal 115V, 60 Hz, A.C. power circuit (motors may be custom wired at the factory
220V, 50 Hz international operation). The, amp, hertz and voltage ratings are listed on the
motor spec label found on each Burnisher. Using voltages above or below those indicated
on the spec label will damage the motor. Always check your local voltage requirements.
This Burnisher is for use on a normal 120 volt circuit. It has a grounded plug that fits the
outlet illustrated in Figure A. If a properly grounded outlet is not available, a temporary
adapter, such as the adapter illustrated in Figure B and C, may be used to connect the
plug into a 2-pole outlet, as shown in Figure C.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet, Figure A,
can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green color rigid ear lug or grounding
means 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 its grounding means and a metal screw, as shown in Figure C.
WARNING:
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 the outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided with the
equipment. If it will not fit into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
The BISSELL BigGreen Commercial High-Speed Burnisher is built with a 50 foot (15
M) safety cord which plugs directly into an approved outlet. Use of extension cords
is NOT RECOMMENDED. NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not
permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code. This adaptor may not be used in Canada.
