2.0 Grounding Instructions

DANGER: IMPROPER GROUNDING METHOD CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Electrical equipment must be grounded. If the machine should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The Prospector Carpet Extractor 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
grounding wire is the wire with insulation and an outer green surface, with or without yellow stripes.
Grounding Method
The electric Prospector Carpet Extractor 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 colored 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.
