GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance 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. This appliance is equipped with a code 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 conducto r can result in a risk o f 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 appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adaptor looks like adaptor illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used it connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored 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.

Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

MAINTENANCE

REMOVING BLOCKAGES

If your bag full indicator light remains lit after you have changed bags and/or filters this is an indication that there may be a blockage somewhere in your unit.

It is important to keep all areas of the system free from blockage, as this may damage your unit or its components.

¾ Check for suction at the end of hose. If

you can only feel a small amount of suction, there is a block in your hose. To remove:

1. Loosen the safety ring on the lid.

2. Remove the hose from the machine.

3. Reverse the airflow through the hose by putting the hose handle in the connecting tube of the filter cover.

4. Stretch the hose in the spot where the blockage may be and open/close the end of hose until blockage is removed.

¾ Check the suction port at the opening

for the hose handle. Remove any debris you may find.

¾ Check the suction neck of the power

head. Remove any debris you may find.

¾ Check the trap-door on the bottom of

the power head. Remove any debris you may find.

¾ Check between the suction neck and

trap-door within the power head, as obstacles may become lodged in the travel path. Remove any debris you may find.
