22. Do not use the handle in the dust bag housing to carry the machine.
23. Always turn off this appliance before connecting or disconnecting motorized nozzle.
24. Brush may unexpectedly restart. To reduce the risk of injury from moving parts. – Unplug before servicing.
25. The vacuum has a manual reset thermal protector. The protector is reset by switching off the vacuum. The thermal protector needs
some time to cool down after switching off! Check the vacuum for air blockages or mechanical failures before switching on.
26. Store the vacuum in a dry place at room temperature. When the vacuum is not in use, you should wrap the cord on the cable hooks.
27. Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
28. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is the correct size for your appliance. The table on the Grounding Instructions
page shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.
29. Use only three-wire outdoor extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and grounding receptacles that accept the appli-
ance's plug.
30. To reduce the risk of personal injury due to a loose electrical connection between the appliance's plug and extension cord, firmly and
fully attach the appliance plug to the extension cord. Periodically check the connection while operating to ensure it is fully attached. Do
not use an extension cord that provides a loose connection. A loose connection may result in overheating, fire, and increases the risk
of a burning.
31. To reduce the risk of disconnection of the appliance cord from the extension cord during operating, make a knot as shown under
Grounding Instructions.
32. Maintain Appliance With Care - Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged.
