265 Volt Electrical Supply
WARNING
Connection of this 265V product to a branch circuit MUST be done by direct connection to be in compliance with the National Electric Code. Plugging of this unit directly into a building mounted exposed receptacle is not permitted by code.
These models must be installed using one of the following methods:
AElectrical subbase kits are available to provide a flexible enclosure for direct connection.
Branch Circuit |

and Chassis | Proper GE |
Amperage Rating | Subbase Kit |
15 | RAK204E15 |
20 | RAK204E20 |
30 | RAK204E30 |
The instructions provided with the selected subbase kit must be carefully followed. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that connection of components is done in accordance with these instructions and all electrical codes.
BFor direct connection to branch circuit wiring inside the provided junction box without using a subbase kit, the cord is to be cut and the wire ends stripped and connected as follows.
Steps for preparing cordset for direct connection:
1Remove the junction box cover by taking out the front four screws.
2Remove the junction box by taking out the top rear screw. Note how the tab at the lower right corner of the junction box serves to hold the corner in place. This will help when the box is being reinstalled. The cord will be coiled up inside the junction box.

3Measure 6″ down the cord from the strain relief securing the cord to the chassis and cut the cord through at this point.
4Carefully split the cord insulation at the center for 2″ so as to separate into three insulated wires. Be careful not to cut through the center green ground wire insulation.
5Strip 3/4″ of the insulation away at the end of each of the three wires (L1, Neutral and Ground). The Neutral wire is identified by molded rib along its entire length. The L1 (Hot) wire insulation is smooth.
