HOWTOPREPARETHEMACHINEFOR  
OPERATION  
Instructions for Connection To The Power Supply  
AndTheElectricalGround  
Themachinehasapowercordwiththreeconductorsand  
a plug with three terminals. For maximum protection  
against electric shock, use a circuit that is protected by  
a ground fault circuit interrupter.  
This machine uses a 110 TO 120 volt AC 60 cycle  
electrical circuit. Make sure you have the correct  
voltage and frequency before connecting the  
power cord to an outlet. The machine has a plug as  
shown in Figure A. If a receptacle connected to the  
electrical ground as shown in Figure A is not available,  
useanadapterasshowninFigureC. Thisadaptermust  
be connected as shown in Figure B to an electrical  
ground in the electrical outlet. Make sure you use the  
plate screw and the tab to fasten the adapter.  
WARNING: To prevent possible electric  
shock, protect the machine  
from rain. Keep the machine  
in a dry building.  
WARNING: For maximum protection  
against electrical shock, use  
acircuitthatisprotectedbya  
ground fault circuit inter-  
rupter. Consult your electri-  
cal contractor.  
WARNING: Have worn, cut or damaged  
cords replaced by an autho-  
rized service person.  
EXTENSIONCORDS  
The machine has a power cord with wire size 14 AWG  
(AWG means American Wire Gauge).  
WARNING: If you use an extension cord,  
use an extension cord with  
minimum wire size 14 AWG.  
Do not use an extension cord  
longer than 50 feet. Do not  
join two extension cords.

To charge the batteries, follow this procedure:  
1. Turn the machine OFF.  
2. Connect the DC connector on the charger to the  
connecting plug on the side of the machine above  
the circuit breaker.  
3. Connect the AC plug on the charger to a receptacle  
that has the correct voltage and frequency for your  
charger. Make sure the receptacle is connected to  
the electrical ground.  
NOTE: Read the DC ammeter on the charger. These  
conditionsarenormal:  
- In the "Start" position, the ammeter dial is in  
the white area of the meter.  
- In the "Finish" position, the ammeter is  
in the green area of the meter.  
If the conditions are not normal, unplug the charger from  
the wall.  
7. The electronic timer stops the charger when the  
batteries are fully charged.  
See the instruction book for the charger, and for more  
instructions on how to use the charger and charge the

Figure 4  
Before you put the machine in storage, clean the machine  
and the filter bag. Put the power cord around the top of the  
handle. To put the handle in the storage position, pull out  
the two knobs on the handle. Rotate the knobs ¼ turn. Put  
the handle forward into the storage position. Keep the  
machine in a storage area in a building.  
CIRCUITBREAKER  
The electrical circuit in the Model 590 is protected by a circuit  
breaker. If the circuit breaker opens, wait approximately 10  
minutes for the machine to cool. Press the red button on the  
right-hand side of the machine to reset the circuit breaker.  
See figure 5. You can feel the circuit breaker lock into the  
closed position.
