SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
Model
G9953/G9953ZX
Voltage & Amperage Draw
The Model G9953/G9953ZX features a 5 HP motor and is wired to operate on a
Motor Load | 28 Amps |
Plug Type
The cord set enclosed does not have a plug as the style of plug you require will depend on the type of service you currently have or plan to install. We recommend using the following plugs for your machine on a dedicated circuit only (see Figure 1 for an example).

Circuit Breaker Requirements
Use the following guidelines when choosing a cir- cuit breaker (circuit breakers rated any higher are not adequate to protect the circuit):
Circuit Breaker | 30 Amp, 2 Pole |
Your Circuit Capacity
Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the amperage draw from your machine, as well as any other machines that could be operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regu- larly, your machine may be operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity. However, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified electrician or our service department at (570)
Serious personal injury could occur if you connect your machine to the power source before you have completed the assembly process. DO NOT connect the machine to the power source until instructed to do so.
