This carpet extractor must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This carpet extractor 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.
This carpet extractor is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a ground plug
(see illustration). Make sure the carpet extractor is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this carpet extractor.
