Pro-Team AviationVac Operating Manual page 10

INTRODUCTION
ELECTRICAL
The vacuum as described in this manual, unless otherwise noted, are designed to operate
on 110V – 120V ~ power supply at 400Hz. The vacuum as described in this manual is a
Class I appliance.
The vacuum cleaner described in this manual is equipped with a thermal protection device.
The integrated thermal switch will remove power from the vacuum motor in the event
excessively high operating temperatures are detected. This condition is normally the result
of a blocked vacuum passage, clogged or full filters.
Should a thermal trip take place, immediately turn off the vacuum and inspect for a
blockage and verify the condition of the filter bag and change or empty as required.
The vacuum will require several minutes to cool down to a safe operating temperature.
When this temperature is attained, the thermal switch will reset and the vacuum will be
able to be used in a normal manner.
PROTECTIVE EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS
THESE VACUUMS MUST BE CONNECTED TO A PROPERLY EARTHED (GROUNDED) POWER
SUPPLY. If a vacuum should malfunction or stop working, earthing (grounding) provides a
path of least resistance for electrical current, thereby reducing the risk of electrical shock. This
unit is equipped with a cord that has an equipment-earthing conductor and earthing plug.
The plug must be inserted in an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Cutting off or disabling the earthing wire or
using a cord or outlet that is not properly earthed will void the warranty on the unit, and
ProTeam will accept NO liability associated with the unit.
WARNING – Improper connection of the equipment-earthing connector conductor can
result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you
doubt that the outlet is properly earthed (grounded). Do not modify the plug provided with
the vacuum. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
The vacuum cleaners in this manual are for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a
grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure A. A temporary
adaptor that looks like the adaptor 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 adaptor 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 adaptor must
be connected to a permanent ground

Make sure that the vacuums are connected to an outlet having the same configuration as
the plug. No adaptor should be used with the vacuums detailed in this manual.
