Extension Cords

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:

Minimum Gauge Size

14 AWG

Maximum Length (Shorter is Better)

50 ft.

Model G0555/G0555P (Mfg. Since 5/11)

Voltage Conversion

The voltage conversion MUST be performed by a electrician or qualified service personnel. To perform the voltage conversion, install the cor- rect plug and rewire the motor to the new volt- age, according to the provided wiring diagram on Page 56.

Note: If the diagram included on the motor con- flicts with the one in this manual, the motor may have changed since the manual was printed. Use the diagram provided inside the motor wiring junc- tion box.

To convert the machine to 220V:

1.DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

2.Replace the 5-15 plug on the power cord with a 6-15 plug.

3.Re-wire the motor as illustrated in the wiring diagram.
