2. Connect the swivel end of the hose to the wand or tool you are planning to use.

Grounding Instructions

DANGER:

• Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
• Electrical equipment must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The vacuum is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded under all local codes and ordinances.
• If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, bring unit to an authorized service center. This electric equipment is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in (Fig A).

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 it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

Adjustment Instructions

Proper fitting and adjustment of the straps is necessary to ensure fatigue- free use. The most important item to remember when adjusting the shoulder straps and the hip belt is that it is the hip belt that supports the BackPack, not the shoulder straps. The shoulder straps are there to provide stability to balance the load, NOT to bear the weight.

Hip Belt
Loosen the shoulder straps and the hip belt and place the BackPack on your back with your arms through the shoulder straps. Position the belt on your hips. This should be about 2” below where you would wear a normal belt. Connect the male and female connectors. Grasp the adjustment strap on each side of the hip belt connector and pull out, parallel to the ground, until the hip belt is firmly cinched to your hips.

Shoulder Straps

• Now that you have the hip belt in place and tightened you may adjust the shoulder straps. Grasp the adjustment strap at the bottom of each shoulder pad and pull the straps downward until the straps are fitted to
• Tyour’s body. When properly adjusted you should be able
• Slide two fingers under the strap on top of your shoulder.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the power cord before servicing the vacuum.
