Grounding Instructions
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-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.
WARNING - 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 properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with
the machine - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a
grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in figure A. A
temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in figures B
and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as
shown in figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
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 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.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted
by the Canadian Electrical Code
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only three-wire 12/3 or larger gauge approved extension
cords that have three-prong grounding type plugs and three-pole
receptacles that accept the appliance’s plug. Replace or repair
any damaged cords or plugs.
When servicing, refer to authorized person only. Use only identical replacement parts.
NOTE: Do not use adapters shown in figures B & C in Canada

OPERA TING & MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
THERMAL-PROTECTION INSTRUCTIONS:
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a thermal-protection device, which will interrupt vacuum motor circuit
automatically to prevent the motor from overheating. Air
restrictions for an extended period will result in the
vacuum motor shutting down. If this occurs, press the
switch to turn the vacuum to the OFF position and wait
a minimum of 5 minutes for the motor to cool to a safe
termperature. Be sure to determine the cause of overheating and rectifiy the problem before using the vacuum
cleaner again or it will continued to overheat and shut
down. In some instances the vacuum motor circuit is
interrupted because of high motor temperature caused
by a dirty dust bag or an airway blockage. Please unplug the vacuum and check the inner paper dust bag
and airway. If the dust bag is too dirty and clogged,
replace it with a new one. If an airway is blocked, please
remove the blockage before reuse. The motor can be
restarted when it is cool.
REPAIR SERVICE
When servicing, use an authorized person only. Use
only identical replacement parts.
