Grounding Instructions - ProTeam GoCartVac 1060870 Manuel Du Propriétaire

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

THIS VACUUM MUST BE GROUNDED WHEN PLUGGED IN for AC operation and battery
charging. If a vacuum or charger should malfunction or stop working, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electrical current, thereby reducing the risk of electrical shock.
The GoCartVac is equipped with an AC 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 ordinances. Cutting off the
ground wire or using a cord that is not equipped with a ground plug will void the warranty
on the unit, and ProTeam will accept NO liability associated with the unit. Use only three-
wire ProTeam approved SJTW, UL/CSA, 16AWG or larger.
WARNING
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks
like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure AA. A temporary adaptor that looks like the
adaptor illustrated in sketches B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole recep-
tacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adaptor 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
adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box
cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.
For Canada – This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounded
attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure AA. Make sure that
the vacuums are connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No
adaptor should be used with the vacuums detailed in this manual.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding con-
ductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a
qualified electrician or service person if you are unsure that
the outlet is properly grounded. DO NOT modify the plug
provided with the vacuum. If it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
