For Model G0601 220V operation: The rec- ommended plug specified for the Model G0601 under Circuit Requirements has a grounding prong that must be connected to the equipment- grounding wire of the power cord. The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances (see Figure 3).

For Model G0601 440V operation: As speci- fied in Circuit Requirements, the Model G0601 must be hardwired to the power source for 440V operation, and the power source must use a locking switch as a means of disconnection (see Figure 4). The machine must also be connected to a grounded metal permanent wiring system or to a system having an equipment-grounding con- ductor. Due to the complexity and high voltage involved, this type of installation MUST be done by a qualified electrician.

Extension Cords (220V Only)
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. If you must use an extension cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may damage electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must contain a ground wire, match the required plug and receptacle, and meet the following require- ments:
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better) | 50 ft. |
G0442 Minimum Gauge Size | 10 AWG |
G0601 Minimum Gauge Size | 12 AWG |
