Figure 2. Typical 5-15 plug and receptacle.

This machine MUST have a ground prong in the plug to help ensure that it is grounded. DO NOT remove ­ground prong from plug to fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using extension cords, but if you find it absolutely necessary:

Use at least a 16 gauge cord that does not exceed 50 feet in length!

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

A qualified electrician MUST size cords over 50 feet long to prevent motor damage. -9-
