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 qualied 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 qualied 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 qualied
electrician.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.
3.0 Care of your Backpack Vacuum Cleaner

lter bag and other lters in place. Failure to do so, will VOID your warranty.
If using vacuum in a paint, sawdust or drywall environment, you must dispose of
paper lter bag and shakeout cloth lter bag after each use. Failure to do so will
cause severe damage to your vacuum and VOID your warranty. Dispose of paper
lter bag in a reproof container. The combination of urethane and wood, may
result in combustion.
