This appliance should be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance
is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an
appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire
with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided, if it will not fit the outlet, have the
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not cut the
ground pin off of the male plug.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit, and has
a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A
above. If a properly grounded outlet is not available, a temporary
adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and
C may be used to connect this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as
shown in sketch B. The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet (sketch 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. Whenever the
adapter is used, it must be held in place by the metal screw.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three wire
extension cord that has a three blade grounding plug, and a three
slot receptacle that will accept the plug of the appliance. Replace
or repair a damaged cord.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Your sweeper has been designed to efficiently clean large areas of
carpets. It also performs very well on hard surface floors. The
heavy duty motor provides the power for brush and fan rotation.
The large capacity filter bag, folding handle, foot switch and foot
pedals for nozzle height adjustment provide convenient operation.
The double helical pattern brush pushes dust toward the center
of the brush and vacuum inlet pick up.
In areas where more than average dirt is present, it is
recommended that a second pass be made over the carpet without
turning the machine around. That is, back up the machine to lift the
carpet nap, thus helping remove the heavy deep dirt or sand.
This machine must be connected to the correct power source for
performance to correspond with data on nameplate.
BRUSH ADJUSTMENTS
The top pedal at the right rear of machine is used to adjust the
brush up from the carpet floor. Six settings are provided. These
basic settings can be changed by adjusting the front caster heights.
The casters are adjusted to provide level contact of bristles to the
carpet floor.
To lower brush, depress lower pedal at right rear of machine
down with slow positive pressure and release one notch of ratchet
at a time.
