The 230/208-volt models require their own single branch
circuit supplying 230/208-volt
protected with a time
delay fuse or circuit breaker. This is recommend for best
performance and to prevent overloading house wiring
circuits, which
cause a possible
hazard from
overheating wires.
The power cord on
models has a 230/208-volt

Use of Adapter Plug
(115-volt models
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against use
of an adapter plug. However, if you
still elect to use an adapter, where
local codes permit, a temporary
connection may be made to a
properly grounded two-prong wall
outlet by use of a
adapter
(Fig. 2) available at most local
hardware stores.

EXTENSION
Because of potential safety hazards

recommend against the use of an
extension cord. However, if you stall
elect to use an extension cord, it is
absolutely necessary
it be a
