WHEN THE MACHINE IS DELIVERED

This scrubber will afford you many years of trouble­free operating satisfaction, provided it is given
proper care. All parts are passed rigid quality
control standards prior to their being assembled to
the finished product. Prior to packaging, your
scrubber was again inspected for assurance of
flawless assembly.

This automatic scrubber is protectively packed to
prevent damage in shipment. When the machine is
delivered carefully check the carton for signs of
damage. Unpack the machine from the carton and
inspect it for any possible damage.

Only a visual examination will reveal damage that
may have occurred in transit. If damage is
discovered, immediately notify the transportation
company that delivered your scrubber and request
an inspection. As a shipper we are unable to report
any claim for damage. You must origin any claim
within 5 days of delivery. Be sure to keep the
carton, packing inserts, packing list and carrier's
receipt until the inspector has verified your claim.

manufacturer of an authorized service center. This
will avoid further damage to the scrubber or injury
to the user.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS - 120 VOLT

Electrical equipment 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.

The scrubber is equipped with a cord having
equipment grounding conductor and grounding
plug.

• Do not run pump dry. When solution tank is
empty, turn off the pump.

• Do not put any objects into openings. Do not
use with any opening blocked; keep free of
anything that may reduce air flow.

• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts
of body away from openings and moving parts.

• NEVER drive scrubber over steps.

These instructions are for your protection and
information.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! Failure to follow
instructions or precautions could result in injury or
damage to the user and/or the scrubber.

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
either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the grounding wire.

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

GROUNDING METHODS

This electric equipment is for use on a nominal
120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks
like the plug illustrated in (Fig. A). A temporary
adaptor that looks like the adaptor illustrated in
(Fig. B & 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.

SAFETY & CHEMICAL INFORMATION

The temporary adaptor should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (Fig. A) can be installed
by a qualified electrician. The green color 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 (Fig. C).

DANGER:

Improper use of the
grounding plug can

result in a risk of

electrical shock.
