Grounding Instructions - Kärcher BRC 46/38 C Operating Instructions Manual

THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL USE ONLY.
ELECTRICAL:
In the USA this machine operates on a standard 15 amp
115V, 60 hz, A.C. power circuit . The amp, hertz, and
voltage are listed on the data label found on each
machine. Using voltages above or below those
indicated on the data label will cause serious damage to
the motors.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

This appliance must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or break down, 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.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 115-volt circuit,
and has a grounded plug that
looks like the plug in "Fig. A". A temporary adaptor that
looks like the adaptor in "Fig . C" may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in
"Fig. B", if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adaptor should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (Fig. A) can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or
the like extending from the adaptor must be connected
to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must
be held in place by a metal screw.
!
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 appliance - if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
