220V Operation

G1022ZFX and G1022PRO:

The motors supplied with the Models G1022ZFX and G1022PRO are prewired to operate at 220V.

The Models G1022ZFX and G1022PRO are not supplied with a plug; therefore, a suitable 220V plug must be wired in. When operating at 220V, we recommend using a NEMA-style 6-15 plug and outlet as shown in Figure 6A. You may also Òhard-wireÓ the machine directly to your panel, provided you place a disconnect switch near the machine. Check the electrical codes in your area for specifics on wiring requirements.

Under normal use, the motor draws approximate- ly 13 amps at 220V. We recommend a 15 amp cir- cuit breaker for 220V operation. This should be satisfactory for normal use while providing enough protection against circuit damage caused by power surges. Always check to see if your cur- rent wires are capable of handling a 15 amp load. If you are unsure, consult the advice of a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify an existing circuit by replacing the circuit breaker with one rated for a higher amperage.
