3. 240 VOLT SINGLE PHASE OPERATION

The motor supplied with your machine is a dual voltage, 120/240 volt motor. It is shipped ready-to-run for 120 volt operation. However, it can be converted for 240 volt operation.

A qualified electrician should do the conversion, or the machine can be taken to an Authorized Delta Service Center. When completed, the machine must conform to the National Electric Code and all local codes and ordinances.

The machine is converted by re-wiring the motor for 240 volts and installing a 240 volt plug on the power supply cord.

Be sure the 240 volt plug is only used in an outlet having the same configuration as the plug illustrated in Fig. C. No adapter should be used with the 240 volt plug.

In all cases, make certain that the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the receptacle.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3- wire extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. D-1 or D-2 shows the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
