120VAC GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. If it should electrically malfunction, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER!

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.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 1 below. A temporary adapter illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure 2 if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Figure 1) can be installed by a qualified electrician.

The green-colored rigid ear, tab, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. Grounding adapters are not approved for use in

Canada.

Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.

The Green (or Green/Yellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must be attached to the grounding pin only.

Extension cords connected to this machine should be 12 gauge, three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and outlets. DO NOT use extension cords more than 50 feet (15 m) long.

PLEASE NOTE: FOR NORTH AMERICA ONLY

INSTRUCTIONS VISANT LA MISE À LA TERRE (120VAC)

Cet appareil doit être mis à la terre. En cas de défaillance ou de panne éventuelles, la mise a la terre fournit au courant un chemin de moindre résistance qui réduit le risque de choc électrique. Cet appareil est pourvu d’un cordon muni d’un conducteur de terre et d’une fiche avec broche de terre. La fiche doit être branchée dans une prise appropriee correctement installée et mise à la terre conformément aux règlements et ordonnances municipaux.

AVERTISSEMENT !

Un conducteur de terre mal raccordé peut entraîner un risque de choc électrique. Consulter un électricien ou un technicien d’entretien qualifié si vous n’êtes pas certain que la prise est correctement mise à la terre. Ne pas modifier la fiche fournie avec l’appareil - si elle ne peut être insérée dans la prise, faire installer une prise adéquate par un électricien qualifié.

Cet appareil est destiné à un circuit de 120 V et est muni d’une fiche de terre semblable à celle illustrée par le croquis 1. Un adaptateur temporaire semblable à celui illustré par le croquis 2 et C peut être utilisé pour brancher cette fiche à une prise bipolaire comme l’illustre le croquis 2 si une prise avec mise à la terre n’est pas disponible. L’adaptateur temporaire devrait etre utilisé seulement jusqu’à ce qu’une prise avec mise à la terre soit installée par un électricien qualifié. L’oreille rigide ou le crochet ou autre dispositif semblable, de couleur verte, prolongeant l’adaptateur doit

Iêtre raccordé à un élément correctement mis à la terre comme le couvercle d’une boîte de sortie mise à la terre. L’adaptateur doit être fixé par une vis métallique. Note: Au Canada, I’utilisation d’un adaptateur temporaire n’est pas autorisée par le Code canadien de l’électricité.

Remplacez la prise si la prise de terre est abîmée ou cassée.

Le fil Vert (ou Vert/Jaune) dans la ganse est le fil de terre. Lors du remplacement d´une prise, ce fil doit être raccordé à la prise de terre uniquement.

Les ralonges connectées à cette machine doivent avoir 12 mesures, trois ganses de fil ayant trois fiches masculines féminines tree-prong plugs and outlets. N´UTILISEZ PAS de ralonge de plus de 15 m (50 pieds) de long.

A - ASSEMBLY PACKET

The packet contains two 2-part bolts and two cord hooks. An extra drive belt is also included.

B – ATTACH LOWER / UPPER HANDLE

Slip the upper handle (D) and the lower handle (E) together so the handle bolt holes align and the slots in the handle are positioned as shown in Figure 4. Insert a 2-part bolt (A) in the center of the handle and tighten. Hold the assembled handle (D/E) so it curves away from the cleaner. Then push the handle into the handle socket (F) at the rear of the cleaner. Align the holes, insert the other 2-part bolt (A), and tighten.

C / D – CORD HOOKS

UPPER CORD HOOK: Pull the spring (G) on the cord upward toward the top of the handle. Insert the lower half of the spring (G) into the upper cord hook (B).

Make sure slots in handle are positioned properly (Figure B). Place inner tab into slot as shown in (1) and press hook around handle (2), snapping opposite inner tab into place (3) (Figure D).

LOWER CORD HOOK: Insert the power cord into the lower cord hook (C) (Figure C). Snap the hook into the lower handle. Pull the cord up to tighten but leave enough slack near the base so the cord is not strained when the handle is lowered. Wrap the cord around the two cord hooks. Fasten the plug to the cord to prevent unwinding.

E - HOW TO INSTALL THE BAG

Insert the bag adapter clip (H) on the bottom of the bag collar into the bag adapter retainer (I) below the air outlet. Push the bag collar up and forward so the locator lug (J) to the right of the cam latch (L) slides into the slot (K), then turn the cam latch to lock the bag onto the shoulder rivet (M). To support the bag, loop the spring (N) from the top of the bag onto the bag support, located to the back of theupper cord hook (B) (Figure B).

OPERATION

F - POWER SWITCH

The power switch is located at the rear of machine, to the left of the handle base. Simply step on it to turn the machine on or off.

G - HANDLE ADJUSTMENT

The handle lock is located at the left rear side of the machine. Simply step on it to release and move the handle to one of the three positions.

H - HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

This machine has a 6-position adjustment knob. To select the proper setting, move the knob to the highest setting. Turn down one setting at a time until the machine’s sound changes to a smooth buzzing or vibrating tone. This is the sound of the beater bars grooming the pile.

NOTE: Raise the front of the machine to ease changing the settings.
