Operate cleaning system only at voltage
specified on power unit.

This system is intended for household
use.

Grounding
Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electrical current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This
appliance is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding
conductor (A) and grounding plug (B).
The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet (C) that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER-

Improper connection of the equipment
grounding conductor can result in the
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.
This appliance is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Fig. 1.1.
A Temporary adapter (D) may be used
to connect this plug to a 2-pole recepta­cle (E) if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The Temporary adapter
should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet (C) can be installed by
a qualified electrician. The green col­ored rigid ear (F), lug, or the like 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 a metal screw (G).

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a tempo-

rary adapter is Not Permitted by the
Canadian Electrical Code.

Intake Configuration:

This unit has been designed to provide the option of left or right side intake. A pipe cap is included for
the purpose of sealing off the unused inlet. (Condominium units are an exception with only a left side
intake option.)

Route vacuum system piping to the chosen intake port, do not glue. Should the unit require being taken
in for servicing, you will not want it permanently fastened to your tubing system. Use the provided 2"
gear clamps to attach.

Fig. C

Muffler Installation:

Units with a tangential or peripheral bypass motor have an exhaust port for cooling purposes. For
additional noise reduction a muffler can be installed. Do not glue, attach with the provided 2" gear
clamp. The exhaust can be routed outside, although it is not necessary.

Units without an exhaust port contain flo-thru motors, the motor itself provides the necessary cooling.
