WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipmentgrounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you aren’t sure if the outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance is designed for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug in the drawing above.

Assembly

Your Ready Clean Powerbrush Plus assembles quickly and easily. The only tool you will need for assembly is a Phillips head screwdriver.

1. Locate the screw pack, which is taped

to the upper handle.

2. Slide the upper body onto the lower

body, taking care not to leave a gap between the upper and lower body.

3. Firmly holding the upper body, screw

the 2 screws into the holes marked with arrows.

TIP: If you are having difficulty

tightening the screws, remove, re-insert, and tighten again.

4. Slide the hose wrap onto the upper

handle as pictured and push up until it snaps into place.

5. Slide the upper handle into the upper

body until it will not go any farther and secure it with a screw at the marked screw hole above the water tank.

6. After tightening the screws, ensure

proper fit between the upper and lower body by trying to separate the two. If assembled properly, there should be no gap. If a gap appears between the two (see picture at right), continue to tighten the screws until no gap is present.

7. Place solution tank on back of unit.

8. Wrap power cord and flex hose.

9. Keep flex hose snugly in place by using

the hose secure latch.

10. Attach tool to end of hose.

Assembly is now complete.
