Using Electrical Cords

Grounding 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.

This 120 Vac sprayer requires a 120 Vac, 60 Hz, 15A circuit with a grounding receptacle.

ti3509a

Never use an outlet that is not grounded or an adapter.

ti5572c

Do not use the sprayer if the electrical cord has a dam- aged ground prong.

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.

Using Electrical Cords

Extension Cord Requirements

Only use an extension cord with an undamaged 3-prong plug for 120 V.

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 wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) to be able to carry the current that your sprayer draws. A smaller gauge num- ber has a greater capacity than a large one. For exam- ple, 14 gauge wire has a greater capacity than 16 gauge wire. An undersized extension cord will result in a drop in line voltage and loss of power, overheating, and pos- sible damage to equipment.

When using more than one extension cord, make sure each individual cord contains at least the minimum wire size needed. The table below shows the correct size to use depending on extension cord size and gauge. If you are unsure, it is better to use a heavier gauge than needed. Remember, a smaller number indicates a larger gauge wire.
