This vacuum must be grounded! Grounding is a safety measure to reduce the risk of electrical shock to the operator
should the machine malfunction or stop working. Grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric current
and will trip the circuit breaker, stopping the flow of electricity.
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 ordi-
nances. Cutting off the ground wire or using a cord that is not equipped with a ground plug will void the warranty on
the unit. Powr-Flite will accept NO liability associated with the unit.
The vacuums 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 adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure B and C may be used to connect this
plug to a 2-pole receptacle as show in 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 for the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a prop-
erly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
The replacement or repair of damaged wiring should only be performed by a qualified
electrician or service engineer from the manufacturer or authorized service center.

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.
