connections should be performed by a qualified electrician. Installation must be in accordance with local codes and national electrical codes.
W I R I N G
1 . Local electrical wiring codes differ from
area to area. Source wiring, plug and protector must be rated for at least the amperage and voltage indicated on motor nameplate, and meet all electrical codes for this minimum.
2 . Use a slow blow fuse or a circuit b r e a k e r .
3 . This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 5. Make sure the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. Plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Overheating, short circuiting and fire
damage will result from inadequate w i r i n g .
