SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

Serious personal injury could occur if you connect the machine to power before com- pleting the setup process. DO NOT connect the machine to the power until instructed later in this manual.

Electrocution or fire could result if machine is not grounded and installed in compliance with electrical codes. Compliance MUST be verified by a qualified electrician!

NOTICE

The Model G0513/G0514 is prewired for 220V. If you plan to operate the machine at 110V, the motor must be rewired (see Page 54) and a 110V plug must be installed.

Full Load Amperage Draw

This machine draws the following amps under maximum load:

Power Supply Circuit Requirements

The power supply circuit for your machine MUST be grounded and rated for the amperage given below. Never replace a circuit breaker on an exist- ing circuit with one of higher amperage without consulting a qualified electrician to ensure compli- ance with wiring codes. If you are unsure about the wiring codes in your area or you plan to connect your machine to a shared circuit, con- sult a qualified electrician.

Extension Cords

Using extension cords may reduce the life of the motor. Instead, place the machine near a power source. If you must use an extension cord:

For 110V, use at least a 12 gauge cord that does not exceed 50 feet in length.

For 220V, use at least a 14 gauge cord that does not exceed 50 feet in length.

The extension cord must have a ground wire and plug pin.
