2.0 Grounding Instructions

DANGER: IMPROPER GROUNDING METHOD CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF

ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Electrical equipment must be grounded. If the machine should malfunction or breakdown,

grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of

electric shock. The Carpet Extractor 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 flat bed terminal. The grounding wire is the wire with insulation and an outer

green surface, with or without yellow stripes.

Grounding Method

The equipment is for use on a normal 120 Volt circuit. It includes a grounded plug (plug

shown in Figure A). A temporary adapter (Figure B and C) may be used to connect this

plug into a 2-pole receptacle (Figure B) if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet

(Figure A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear lug or

the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a

properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever an adapter 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 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 the plug will not fit into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a

qualified electrician.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian

Electrical Code.
