1 INSPECTION

Carefully unpack and inspect your Tiger-Vac vacuum cleaner. Each vacuum cleaner is tested and
thoroughly inspected before being shipped; therefore, any damage is the responsibility of the
delivering carrier, who should be notified.

2 PRE-USAGE NOTES AND TESTING PROCEDURES

POWER SUPPLY CORD
Should the power supply cord be replaced, carefully study the wiring diagram supplied with the

instruction manual.

NOTE: As the colors of the wires in the mains load of this appliance may not correspond

with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:

- The wire which is colored green must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with
the letter E or by the earth symbol, or colored green.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

- Dispose of a plug that has been cut from the power supply cord.

2.1 GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This vacuum cleaner must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

WARNING: 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. Ensure that the fuse/breaker on the electrical panel is of the
correct rating and exceeds the maximum current rating shown on the technical
data sticker of the vacuum unit.

WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE UNIT WITHOUT A PROPER GROUND SOURCE.
DANGER: 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 an outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the vacuum cleaner. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician. No adaptor should be used with this vacuum
cleaner.

2. Service and operation should only be carried out by trained personnel wearing appropriate
clothing and breathing apparatus.

3. Dispose of collected materials responsibly. Follow government regulations for the disposal of
