BEFORE USING
This vacuum cleaner will afford you
many years of trouble-free operating
satisfaction, provided it is given proper
care. All parts have passed rigid quality
control standards prior to being assem-
bled to produce the finished product.
Prior to packaging, the vacuum was
again inspected for assurance of flaw-
less assembly.
Your vacuum is protectively packed to
prevent damage in shipment. We rec-
ommend that upon delivery, unpack the
vacuum and inspect it for any possible
damage. Only a visual examination will
reveal damage that may have occurred.
If damage is discovered, immediately
notify the transportation company that
delivered your vacuum. As a shipper, we
are unable to report claims for con-
cealed damage. You must originate any
claims within 5 days of delivery.
This manual is for your protection and
information. PLEASE READ CAREFUL-
LY since failure to follow precautions
could result in discomfort or injury.

IMPORTANT
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
To Reduce the Risk of Fire, Electric Shock or Injury:
To avoid electric shock
DO NOT expose to rain - Store Indoors
Electric shock could occur if power nozzle is
used on wet surfaces.
When using this electric vacuum, basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1] DO NOT leave the vacuum when
plugged in. Unplug it from the outlet when
not in use and before servicing.
2] This is NOT a toy. Close attention is
necessary when used around or near
children.
3] Use only as described in this safety
manual. Use only manufacturer’s recom-
mended attachments and accessories.
4] DO NOT use the vacuum with dam-
aged cord or plug. If the vacuum is not
working as it should, because it has been
dropped, damaged, left outdoors or
dropped into water, contact an authorized
service center or factory.
5] DO NOT pull the vacuum by the cord,
use cord as a handle, close a door on the
cord or pull cord around sharp edges and
corners. DO NOT run vacuum over the
cord. Keep the cord away from heated
surfaces.
6] DO NOT unplug the vacuum by pulling
on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug,
not the cord.
7] DO NOT handle the vacuum plug or
vacuum with wet hands.
8] DO NOT put any objects into openings.
DO NOT use with any openings blocked;
keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything
that may reduce air flow.
9] Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and
all parts of body away from openings and
moving parts.
10] DO NOT pick up anything that is
smoking or burning such as cigarettes,
matches, or hot ashes.
11] DO NOT use without wet adaptor in
place
12] Turn OFF all controls before unplug-
ging.
13] Use extra care when cleaning on
stairs.
14] DO NOT use this vacuum to pick up
flammable or combustible liquids such as
gasoline or use in areas where they may
be present.
15] DO NOT use where anesthetics or
oxygen are used.
16] Replace damaged or worn parts
immediately with genuine original equip-
ment parts to maintain safety and protect
your limited warranty.
17] DO NOT use an extension cord unless
absolutely necessary. If an extension cord
is used, then wire size must be #14
gauge or larger and should not exceed 50
feet in length. The extension cord must be
three-wire type to insure GROUNDING
protection.
This vacuum must be connected to a
properly grounded outlet only. See ground-
ing instructions (Page 3). This vacuum has
an outlet for the ring tank pump, always
turn it OFF the vacuum before connecting
or disconnecting the pump.

WARNING

GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock.
Electrical equipment must be grounded.
If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resist-
ance for electrical current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This vacuum is
equipped with a cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor and ground-
ing plug. The plug must be inserted into
an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
If repair or replacement of the cord or
plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the
grounded wire to either flat blade termi-
nal. The wire with insulation having an
outer surface that is green with or with-
out yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
GROUNDING
METHODS
This electric equipment is for use on a
nominal 120 volt circuit, and has a
grounded plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in (Fig A). A temporary adap-
tor that looks like the adaptor illustrated
in (Fig B & 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 electri-
cian. The green color 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 (Fig3).
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 equipment. If it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the
Canadian Electrical Code.
CARE OF
VACUUM
Treat this vacuum as you would any
other high grade precision made prod-
uct. Dropping, unreasonable bumping
across thresholds and other misuses
may result in a damaged unit which will
not be covered by warranty.
When not in use, power cord should be
wrapped around the motor head for
storage.
Read this manual completely before
operating the vacuum. It is important to
follow instructions in this manual to pre-
vent the possibility of injury or damage
to the user and/or vacuum.

lance lorsqu'il est branché. Débrancher
lorsque l'appareil n'est pas utilise ét
avant l'entretien.
2] Ne pas permettre aux enfants de
jouer avec l'appareil. Une attention par-
ticulière est nécessaire lorsque l'ap-
pareil
est utilisé par des enfants ou à proxim-
ité de ces derniers.
3] N'utiliser que conformément à cette
notice avec les accessoires recom-
mandés par le fabricant.
4] Ne pas utiliser si le cordon ou la fiche

puyer contre des arêtes vives ou des
coins. Ne pas faire rouler l'appareil sur
le cordon. Garder le cordon à l'écarte
des surfaces chaudes.
8] N'insérer aucun objet dans les ouver-
tures. Ne pas utiliser l'appareil
lorsqu'une ouverture est bloquée.
S'assurer que de la poussière, de la

courant avec mise àla terre. Voir les
instructions visant la mise à la terre.
Cet appareil doit être mis à la terre. En cas dé défaillance ou de panne éventuelles,
la mise à la terre fournit au courant un chemin de moindre résistance qui réduit le
risque de choc électrique. Cet appareil est pourvu d'un cordon muni d'un conduc-
teur de terre et d'une fiche avec broche de terre. La fiche doit être branchée dans
une prise appropriée correctement instalée et mise à la terre conformément aux
règlements et ordonnances municipaux.
AVERTISSEMENT:
Page 4
Un conducteur de terre mal raccordé peut entraîner un
risque de choc électrique. Consulter un électricien ou
un technicien d'entretien qualifié si vous n'êtes pas cer-
tain que la prise soit correctement mise à la terre. Ne
pas modifier la fiche fournie avec l'appareil-si elle ne
peut être inséreé dans la prise, faire installer une prise
adéquate par un électricien qualifié.
