Circuit Requirements

This machine must be connected to the correct size and
type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage
may occur. Read through this section to determine if an
adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct
circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install
one before you can connect the machine to power.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment
between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building
and the machine. The power supply circuit used for
this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-
load current drawn from the machine for an extended
period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit
protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

Circuit Requirements for 240V

This machine is prewired to operate on a 220V power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the
following requirements:
Circuit Ty pe ...............220V/240V, 60 Hz, Single-Phase
Circuit Size .............................................15 Amps
Plug/Receptacle ....................................NEMA 6-15

Full-Load Current Rating

The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine
draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines
with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the
largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices
that might operate at one time during normal operations.
Full-Load Current Rating at 240V ....................9 Amps
The machine must be properly set up
before it is safe to operate. DO NOT
connect this machine to the power
source until instructed to do later in
this manual.
Incorrectly wiring or grounding this
machine can cause electrocution, fire,
or machine damage. To reduce this risk,
only a qualified electrician or service
personnel should do any required
electrical work for this machine.

NOTICE

The circuit requirements listed in this
manual apply to a dedicated circuit—
where only one machine will be running
at a time. If this machine will be
connected to a shared circuit where
multiple machines will be running at
the same time, consult a qualified
electrician to ensure that the circuit is
properly sized for safe operation.
