•Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.
•Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.
•Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be

•Store your commercial spotter indoors in a cool, dry area.
•Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, NOT THE CORD.
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
elec-tric current to reduce the risk of 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.
WARNING - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of 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 the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a normal 120 volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THESE MODELS ARE GROUNDED, CONNECT TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET ONLY - SEE GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS.

Make sure the machine is plugged into an electrical
outlet with the same voltage rating as shown on the
nameplate of the machine. Do not attempt to plug a
115 volt machine into a 230 volt outlet or a 230 volt
machine into a 115 volt outlet.
WARNING
Do not expose the machine to freezing tempera-tures.
Do not use the machine for totally dry vacuum-ing.
This machine is not fitted with a fine dust filter.
Do not use citrus-based cleaners in this machine.
Do not use cleaning chemicals in this machine except
those recommended for commercial extraction
equipment. The use of any chemical with abrasive
additives voids the warranty.
Do not break off or pull out the ground prong on the
plug.
Do not attempt repair on a warranted machine unless
instructions to perform it by an authorized shop are
obtained from the factory.
Do not use any replacement parts except those
specified on the parts list. Proper performance of the
machine could be affected if substitutions are made.
Use defoamer at all times to prevent damaging the
vacuum motor.
Do not use water in excess of 140° F (62° C).

Disconnect the power cord from the outlet before
attempting maintenance or repair work.
Do not leave machine connected to an electrical outlet
when unattended.
Never pull the machine by the cord or yank the cord
from the receptacle. Replace a damaged cord
immediately.
If an extension cord is necessary, use a three
conductor grounding cord – 12 gauge wire or heavier
to prevent motor burnout and
over-heating of wires.
To avoid electric shock, do not expose to rain. Store
indoors.
To avoid fire, do not use machine in environ-ments
where combustible liquids, vapors or dust
concentrations are present.
Check the carton carefully for signs of rough handling.
Remove the machine from the carton. If the machine is
damaged, notify the carrier immediately and request an
inspection. Be sure to keep the carton, packing inserts,
packing lists and carrier receipt until the inspector has
verified your claim. Liability ceases when the shipment
is picked up by the carrier, but our customer service
staff will be glad to furnish any information needed in
connec-tion with the claim and will expedite the repair
of the machine.
