Polarization instructions
Power Cord - 2-Wire Polarized
Household models R500, R600, R700 & R800
To reduce the risk of electric shock this product is equipped with a polarized alternating
current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician
to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
Grounding Instructions
Model R800C Only
This vacuum cleaner 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 vacuum cleaner is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This vacuum cleaner is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a ground plug
(see illustration). Make sure that the vacuum is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this vacuum.
WARNING – Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in the risk of electric shock.
Grounded
Outlet
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 vacuum – if it will

not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

Thermal fuse protection
Your Riccar vacuum cleaner comes equipped with a Manual Reset Thermal Fuse Protector.
This thermal protector is designed to protect your vacuum cleaner from overheating due to
a restriction in airflow (i.e. clogged hose, operating the vacuum without a bag). Should this
situation occur, the thermal fuse protector will safely shut off the vacuum cleaner to avoid
any potential damage.
NOTE: To determine it was the thermal fuse protector that turned off your vacuum
cleaner, please refer to the vacuum cleaner's headlight. If the headlight is on while the motor
is off, then the thermal fuse protector did safely shut down the motor. If both the headlight
and motor are off, then there is some reason other than the thermal protector (i.e. pulled
plug) your vacuum is off.
To reset the thermal fuse:
1. Unplug the vacuum cleaner
2. Check for problem – over–filled bag, clog in hose, clogged filters, etc.
3. Correct problem
4. Locate "tripped" fuse – the small white button located on the bottom of the back side of
the main body (roughly one inch to the right of the left wheel)
5. Using a pencil, paper clip or other pointed object, push the reset button in
6. Plug vacuum cleaner in and resume use
Please contact your Authorized Riccar Retailer with any questions.
