Before connecting to input power, make sure there is a line (wall) disconnect switch with fuses or circuit breakers
at the main power panel. You may either use the factory-installed input power cable (4/c, type SO (90 °C), 10 ft
(3.1 m) length) or provide your own input power leads. If you choose to provide your own, make sure they are
insulated copper conductors. You must have two (single-phase) or three (3 phase) power leads and one ground
wire. The wires may be heavy rubber covered cable or may be run in a solid or flexible conduit. Ensure the
ground lead is sufficiently long inside the machine. In an event where the power cord is pulled from the machine,
the ground lead must not break from the ground connection before the power leads have broken from their
connection. Refer to Table 3-1 for recommended input conductors and line fuse sizes.

ELECTrIC SHOCK CAN KILL! BEfOrE MAKINg ELECTrICAL INPUT CON-
NECTIONS TO THE POWEr SOUrCE, "MACHINErY LOCKOUT PrO-
CEDUrES" SHOULD BE EMPLOYED. If THE CONNECTIONS ArE TO BE
MADE frOM A LINE DISCONNECT SWITCH, PLACE THE SWITCH IN THE
Off POSITION AND PADLOCK IT TO PrEVENT INADVErTENT TrIPPINg.
If THE CONNECTION IS MADE frOM A fUSEBOx, rEMOVE THE COrrE-
SPONDINg fUSES AND PADLOCK THE BOx COVEr. If IT IS NOT POSSI-
BLE TO USE PADLOCKS, ATTACH A rED TAg TO THE LINE DISCONNECT
SWITCH (Or fUSE BOx) WArNINg OTHErS THAT THE CIrCUIT IS BEINg
WOrKED ON.
THE CHASSIS MUST BE CONNECTED TO AN APPrOVED ELECTrICAL
grOUND. fAILUrE TO DO SO MAY rESULT IN ELECTrICAL SHOCK, SE-
VErE BUrNS Or DEATH.
BEfOrE MAKINg ANY CONNECTIONS TO THE POWEr SOUrCE OUT-
PUT TErMINALS, MAKE SUrE THAT ALL PrIMArY INPUT POWEr TO
THE POWEr SOUrCE IS DEENErgIZED (Off) AT THE MAIN DISCON-
NECT SWITCH AND THAT THE INPUT POWEr CABLE IS UNPLUggED.
