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 14/3 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

the solution tank. Slide it to the rear so that the male and
female latches engage. Then lock the tanks in place by
securing the clamp at the front of the machine.
