POWER REQUIREMENTS
For proper tool operation and production of
grooves that are within Victaulic specifications,
the following guidelines shall be followed:
DANGER
• To reduce the risk of electric
shock, check the electrical
source for proper grounding.
• Before performing any
maintenance on the power
mule, disconnect the power
cord from the electrical
source.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in death or serious personal injury.
The Power Mule II is designed to operate on
a 115-volt, 20-Amp, 25 - 60 Hz, single-phase
power supply (220-volt is also available) . Power
shall be supplied to the power head through
a safety foot switch to ensure safe operation .
Ensure the power head is properly grounded
in accordance with Article 250 of the National
Electrical Code .
If an extension cord is required, refer to the
“Extension Cord Requirements” section on this
page for cord sizes . In addition, refer to the
power head manufacturer’s instructions prior
to use .
EXTENSION CORD REQUIREMENTS
When pre-wired outlets are not available and
an extension cord shall be used, it is important
to use the proper cord size (i .e . Conductor Size
American Wire Gauge) . Cord size selection is
based upon tool rating (amps) and cord length
(feet) . Use of a cord size (gauge) thinner than
required will cause significant voltage drop
at the power head while the tool is operating .
Voltage drops may cause damage to the
power head and can result in improper tool
operation .
NOTE
: It is acceptable to use a cord
size (gauge) that is heavier than required . The
required cord sizes (gauges) for cord lengths up
to and including 100 feet/31 m are listed in the
table below . Use of extension cords longer than
100 feet/31 m shall be avoided .
