220V Single-Phase Grounding

SECTION 2: Power Requirements

WARNING: Machine must be grounded properly to prevent electrocution or fire. Ensure your

!electrical configuration complies with local and state codes. Contact qualified electrician to ensure compliance. DO NOT connect the machine to the power source until instructed to do so, as serious personal injury could occur.

All electrical connections must be made in accordance with local codes. Grounding reduces the risk of electric shock if an electrical short happens. This machine has a power cord that has a grounding wire, which must be properly connected to the grounding prong on the plug. NOTE: The outlet must be properly installed and grounded for this to operate properly.

Amperage Draw / Minimum Circuit Requirements

The motor on the PNR 14-150 will draw 18 amps during operation. Only connect your machine to a circuit that meets the requirements. Always check to see if the wires and circuit breaker 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. NOTE: Start up amperage draw is signifi- cantly higher than running draw.

Plug Type / Extension Cords

An L6-20 plug and receptacle is recommended to connect your machine to power. It is NOT recommend using extension cords on 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the placement of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords. If you find it absolutely necessary to use an extension cord at 220V with your machine, check with a qualified electrician for the correct sizing, gauge, type, and maximum possible length for your needs.
