2.0 Grounding Instructions Continued
The electric vacuum is for use on a normal 120 volt circuit. It has a grounded plug that
ts the outlet illustrated in Figure A. If a properly grounded outlet is not available, a
temporary adapter, such as the adapter illustrated in Figure B and C, may be used to
connect the plug into a 2-pole outlet, as shown in Figure C.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet, Figure A,
can be installed by a qualied electrician. The green color rigid ear lug or grounding
means 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 its grounding means and a metal screw, as shown in Figure C.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualied 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
equipment. If it will not t into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied
electrician.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.
