IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTE
Carefully unpack your scrubber and inspect it for
shipping damage. Any damages which occurred
during shipping are the responsibility of the car-
rier, who must be notified immediately.
ELECTRICAL:
In the USA this vacuum operates on a standard
15 amp 115 volt A.C. power circuit (12OV nomi-
nal). Special voltage models are available for in-
ternational applications. The amp, hertz, and
voltage are listed on the data label found on
each machine. Using voltages above or below
those indicated on the data label will cause seri-
ous damage to the motors,
EXTENSION CORDS:
If an extension cord is used in the USA, the wire
size must be the same type and at least one size
larger than the power cord on the machine. Do
not use over 50 ft. (15m) of extension cord(s).
The ADP is equipped with a 50 ft. (15m) 14/3
SJTW/-A power cord. Owner’s with Internation-
al versions of this product need to consult their
local electrical authority.
NOTE:
If connected to a circuit protected by fuses,
use time-delay fuses with this product..
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This appliance must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This ap-
pliance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and ground-
ing plug. The plug must be inserted into an ap-
propriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like
the plug in “Fig. A”. A temporary adaptor that
looks like the adaptor in “Fig . 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 colored rigid ear, lug, or the
like extending from the adaptor must be con-
nected to a permanent ground such as a prop-
erly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a
metal screw.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified elec-
trician 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 it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
