Using Electrical Cords and
Electrical Requirements
Sprayer must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk
of static and electric shock by providing an escape wire
for electrical current due to static build up or in the event
of a short circuit.
1. This sprayer requires 220-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz 10A
circuit with a grounding receptacle. Never use an
outlet that is not grounded.
2. Do not use sprayer if electrical cord has damaged
ground prong.
3. Do not use an extension cord with damaged ground
plug.
Recommended extension cords:
•15 m (50 ft) 1.0 mm
•30 m (100 ft) 1.5 mm
•50 m (164 ft) 2.5 mm
4. Smaller gauge or longer extension cords may
reduce sprayer performance.

Using Electrical Cords and Electrical Requirements

Power Cord

• Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
• Do not abuse the sprayer cord.
• Do NOT use the cord for carrying, pulling, or
unplugging the sprayer.
• Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges,
and moving parts.
• Do not operate the sprayer with a damaged cord.

Extension Cord Requirements

Only use an extension cord with an undamaged
3-prong plug for 220-240 Vac.
When operating sprayer outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use.
NOTE: When using an extension cord, always use a
cord coupler or an extension cord with locking plugs to
ensure that your sprayer maintains power during opera-
tion.
Your extension cord must have an adequate conductor
size to be able to carry the current that your sprayer
draws. A larger conductor number has a greater capac-
ity than a small one. For example, 7.5 mm
has a greater capacity than 1.5 mm
undersized extension cord will result in a drop in line
voltage and loss of power, overheating, and possible
damage to equipment.
When using more than one extension cord, make sure
each individual cord contains at least the minimum con-
ductor size needed. The table below shows the correct
size to use depending on extension cord length and
conductor size. If you are unsure, it is better to use a
larger conductor size than needed. Remember, a larger
number indicates a larger conductor size.
