electric motor

The electric motor supplied is wired for 115 VAC grounded operation. Make certain that the correct size grounded (3-wires) extension cord is used. See Table 7 below.

Table 7. Recommended Extension Cord Sizes

Model	Motor	Voltage	50 ft.	75 ft.	100 ft.	200 ft.
			(15.24 m)	(22.86 m)	(30.48 m)	(60.96 m)
WM63E	1.5 HP	115 VAC	No. 12	No. 10	No. 8	No. 6
		230 VAC	No. 14	No. 12	No. 12	No. 8

Motors can burn out when the line voltage falls 10% below the voltage rating of the motor. Failure to use proper voltage will cause the motor to overheat and actuate the overload switch.

If overload protection should actuate because of improper voltage or any other malfunction, turn the main switch on the motor to the "OFF" position and correct the problem, press the reset switch button, and turn the main switch to the "ON" position.

Electric Motor Voltage Switch

„„ALWAYS make certain the electric motor switch is "OFF" and the power cord has been disconnected from the power source.

„„Remove the voltage lock-out bolt (Figure 12). Change the position of the voltage change toggle switch from 115 VAC to 230 VAC. The mixer is factory wired for 115 VAC operation.

„„Replace the voltage lock-out bolt.

„„Important!, when changing the input voltage to the motor from 115 to 230 VAC, the plug on the motor power cord must also be changed. See Table 6
