This vacuum cleaner is for use on a nominal 120-volt cir
cuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illus
trated in sketch A. A temporary Adapter that looks like the
adapter illustrated in sketches B and C may be used to con
nect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if
a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter 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
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 a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not
permitted by the Canadian Electrical code.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using the vacuum cleaner at a distance where an
extension cord becomes necessary, a 3-conductor ground
ing cord of adequate size must be used for safety, and to
prevent loss of power and overheating. Use the table below
to determine A.W.G. wire size required. To determine
ampere rating of your vacuum, refer to nameplate located
on rear of motor cover.
Before using vacuum cleaner, inspect power cord for loose
or exposed wires and damaged insulation. Make any need
ed repairs or replacements before using your vacuum
cleaner. Use only three-wire outdoor extension cords which
have three-prong grounding-type plugs and three-pole
receptacles which accept the extension cord’s plug. When
vacuuming liquids, be sure the extension cord connection
does not come in contact with the liquid.

NOTE: Static shocks are common in dry areas or when
the relative humidity of the air is low. This is only tempo
rary and does not affect the use of the appliance. To
reduce the frequency of static shocks in your home, the
best remedy is to add moisture to the air with a console or
installed humidifier.

into the center of the smooth
side of the wheel. (Figure 3)
8. Install the axle and wheel
assembly into the underside of;
the rear wheel dolly. (Figure
4) Apply pressure to the axle
and wheel assembly,
until the axle is tight against
the axle stop.
