Riccar Retailer for service.
• Do not pull or carry charger by cord, use
cord as a handle, close a door on the
cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or
corners. Do not run appliance over cord.
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not unplug charger by pulling on
cord. To unplug charger, grasp the plug,

charger plug, and charger terminals with
wet hands.
• Do not put any object into openings. Do
not use with any opening blocked; keep
free of dust, lint, hair and anything that
may reduce air flow.
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all
parts of the body away from openings
and moving parts.
2-WIRE POLARIZED POWER CORD
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the
charger is equipped with a polarized
alternating current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug
will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable
to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still
fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to
replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
