ELECTRICAL
Circuit Requirements
Full-Load Current Rating at 120V .............. 6 Amps
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 amper-
age drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors
and electrical devices that might operate at one time
during normal operations.
Circuit Type ................ 120V, 60 Hz, Single-Phase,
Circuit Size .................................................15 Amps
Plug/Receptacle ....................................NEMA 5-15
Circuit Requirements
This machine is prewired to operate on a power sup-
ply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the
following requirements:
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.
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, an electri-
cian or qualified service personnel MUST install one
before you can connect the machine to power.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical equip-
ment 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 connect-
ed to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay
fuse marked D.)
Incorrectly wiring or
grounding this machine can
cause electrocution, fire, or
machine damage. To reduce
this risk, only an electrician
or qualified service person-
nel should do any required
electrical work on this
machine.
Serious personal injury could occur if you con-
nect the machine to the power source before
you have completed the set up process. DO
NOT connect the machine to the power source
until instructed to do so.
