Operation
Serious personal injury could occur if you
connect the machine to power before com-
pleting the setup process. DO NOT connect
the machine to the power until instructed
later in this manual.
Electrocution or fire could
result if machine is not
grounded and installed in
compliance with electrical
codes. Compliance MUST
be verified by a qualified
electrician!

Power Supply Circuit Requirements
You MUST connect your machine to a grounded
circuit that is rated for the amperage given below.
Never replace a circuit breaker on an existing cir-
cuit with one of higher amperage without consult-
ing a qualified electrician to ensure compliance
with wiring codes. If you are unsure about the
wiring codes in your area or you plan to con-
nect your machine to a shared circuit, consult
a qualified electrician.

Power Connection Device
The type of plug required to connect your machine

rently have or plan to install. We recommend

Extension Cords
Using extension cords may reduce the life of the
motor. Instead, place the machine near a power
source. If you must use an extension cord:
• Use at least a 14 gauge cord that does not
exceed 50 feet in length!
• The extension cord must also have a ground
wire and plug pin.
• A qualified electrician MUST size cords over
50 feet long to prevent motor damage.
Phase Converter Precaution
The power from the manufactured leg of a phase
converter may damage electrical components if
connected to the wrong incoming power terminal
on your machine. Only connect the manufactured
leg to the S terminal (see the Electrical & Control
Wiring Diagram on Page 42 for identification).
