THIS PRODUCT IS FOR COMMERCIAL USE
ONLY.
ELECTRICAL:
In the USA this machine operates on a standard
15 amp 115 volt A.C. power circuit
(12OV
nominal).
Special voltage models are available for international applications. The amp, hertz and voltage
are listed on the data label found on each machine.
Using voltages above or below those indicated on
the data label will cause serious damage to the
motors.
EXTENSION CORDS:
If an extension cord is used, the wire size
must
be
the same type and at least one size larger than the
power cord on the machine. Do not use over 50
ft.
(15m)
of extension cord(s). The machine is
equipped with a 50 ft.
(15m) 14/3 SJTW/-A
power
cord.
NOTE:
If connected to a circuit protected by fuses,
use time-delay fuses with this proctuct.
WARNING:
ADVERTISSEMENT:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This appliance must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to re-
duce the risk of electric shock. This appliance 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.
This appliance is for use on a nominal
120-volt
circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like
the plug in Fig. A. A temporary adaptor that looks
like the adaptor in Fig. C may be used to connect
this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Fig.
B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adaptor should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet (Fig. 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.

Floor Surface Inspection:
Determine precisely what areas you are going to
clean. Note the problem areas in the carpet or
hard floor. Look for loose carpet, heavily damaged areas, discolored stains or grease spots
that will require prespotting. Note the carpet or
hard floor type. Check the availability of hot water, drains, and suitable electrical outlets. If the
carpet is loose or worn or there is hard floor surface flaking, have it repaired
to clean it.

attempting
Plan Cleaning Route:
Work from the most remote area towards the
exit. Try not to travel over the cleaned areas
when getting fresh water or dumping old. Furniture should be moved away from the walls before cleaning. If furniture is moved back in place
before floor is completely dry, place plastic or foil
protectors under the legs to prevent possible
staining. When possible use a Windblower
(WB3)
and open all windows and doors to speed
drying.
