Availability
Before installing the machine, consider the availability
and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an
existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this
machine, a new circuit must be installed. To minimize
the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage,
installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
a qualified electrician in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards.
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 110V ............... 7.5 Amps
The full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps
that the machine will draw. If the machine is overloaded,
it will draw additional amps beyond the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length of
time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—especially
if connected to an undersized circuit. To reduce the
risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine
during operation and make sure it is connected to a
power supply circuit that meets the requirements in the
following section.
Circuit Requirements
This machine is prewired to operate on a 110V power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the
following requirements:
Nominal Voltage ................................... 110V/120V
Cycle ........................................................60 Hz
Phase .............................................. Single-Phase
Minimum Circuit Size ............................... 15 Amps
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.)
Electrocution, fire, or equipment
damage may occur if machine is not
correctly grounded and connected to
the power supply.
For your own safety and protection of
property, consult a qualified electrician
if you are unsure about wiring practices
or electrical codes in your area.
Note:
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.
