GENERAL INFORMATION

EXTENSION CABLES
The extension cable should be a 3-wire configuration that
includes a ground wire that conforms to UL code. The wire
cross section must be a minimum of 2.5 mm². Choose an
extension cord of adequate current-carrying capacity as
referenced in Table 7. Remember, cable distance affects
the current-voltage capacity of the extension cable.
Ensure that the extension cable is carefully laid out,
avoiding wet areas, sharp edges, and locations where
vehicles might run over it. Avoid allowing the extension
cable to be trapped underneath the mixer.
Unroll the extension cable fully or it will overheat and could
catch fire. Make sure that all extension cable connections
are dry and safe. Replace any defective or badly worn
extension cables immediately.
HARDWARE
Check all hardware on the mixer before starting. Periodically
inspect all hardware. Loose hardware can contribute to
early component failure and poor performance. Keep all
mixer hardware components tight.
