-WARNING-
ELECTRIC SHOCK COULD OCCUR IF USED ON WET SURFACES
FOR CORD CONNECTED APPLIANCE
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, ground-
ing provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. Your central vacuum system is supplied with an electrical cord having a
grounding pin. It is recommended that this plug be used only with an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit (U.S. only) or 230/
250 volt circuits where applicable, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug
shown in Figure A. A temporary adapter, that looks like the adapter illustrated in
Figure B, 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 adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet
(Figure A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. NOTE: Temporary adapters
are not permitted in Canada. 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 the adapter is used, it must be
held in place by a metal screw.
