GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
THIS VACUUM MUST BE GROUNDED.
If a Vacuum should malfunction or stop
working, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electrical current,
thereby reducing the risk of electrical
shock. This unit is equipped with a
cord that has an equipment-grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug
must be inserted in an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Cutting off the ground wire
or using a cord that is not equipped with
a ground plug will void the warranty on
the unit, and ProTeam will accept NO
liability associated with the unit.
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
it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
The Vacuum cleaners in this manual are
for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and have a grounded plug that looks
like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A
temporary adaptor that looks like the
adaptor illustrated in Figure C may be
used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in Figure B if a
properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adaptor should be
used only until a properly grounded
outlet in Figure A can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green colored
rigid ear,lug, or the like extending from
the adaptor must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly
4
grounded outlet box cover. Whenever
the adaptor is used, it must be held in
place by a metal screw. Note: In Canada,
the use of a temporary adaptor is not
permitted by the Canadian Electrical
Code. For Canada – This appliance is for
use on a nominal 120 - volt circuit and
has a grounded attachment plug that
looks like the plug illustrated in Figure
A. Make sure that the Vacuums are
connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adaptor
should be used with the Vacuums
detailed in this manual.
