2.0 Grounding Instructions
DANGER: IMPROPER GROUNDING METHOD 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 resistance for electrical current and reduces the risk
of electric shock. The vacuum is equipped with a cord containing a 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.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the grounded
wire to a at bed terminal. The green insulated wire, with or without yellow stripes, is the
grounding wire.
This oor machine operates on a 15 amp nominal 115V, 60 Hz, A.C. power circuit
(motors may be custom wired at the factory 220V, 50 Hz international operation). The,
amp, hertz and voltage ratings are listed on the motor spec label found on each oor
machine. Using voltages above or below those indicated on the spec label will damage
the motor. Always check your local voltage requirements.
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.
The oor machine is built with a 50 foot (15 M) safety cord which plugs directly into an
approved outlet. Use of any extension cords is NOT RECOMMENDED.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.

servicecenter.
5.1 The Floor Machine will not Run
• Circuit breakers are tripped in the building. Check and reset.
• Equipment is unplugged. Check plug, wall and at machine base. Plug in.
• Power cord failure. Test with a working power cord. Lock the handle up and tip the
motor back. Unplug the cord at the motor and plug the motor into your working
power cord.
• IMPORTANT! THIS IS JUST FOR TESTING. When you do this, you have
removed the safety handle controls from the circuit and you are sending power
directly to the motor. If the motor now spins, the problem is in the cord of the
handle assembly. Seek authorized repair services.
• If the motor still does not spin, the problem is either in the male connection at the
motor base or in the motor. Seek authorized repair service.
• Motor sparks or smokes. Seek authorized repair service.
5.2 Electrical Shock to Operator
• Equipment wiring failure or electrical short in the machine. Seek authorized service.
• Poor grounding or no grounding. Test the outlet with a ground fault interrupter.
