the amperage given below. Never replace a circuit
breaker on an existing circuit with one of higher
amperage without consulting a qualified electri-

If
you are unsure about the wiring codes in your
area or you plan to connect your machine to a
shared circuit, consult a qualified electrician.

This machine must have a ground prong
in the plug to ground it. DO NOT remove
ground prong from plug to fit into a two-
pronged outlet! If the plug will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Extension Cords
We do not recommend the use of extension cords,
but if you find it absolutely necessary:
• Use at least a 14 gauge cord that does not
exceed 50 feet in length!
• The extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug pin.
• A qualified electrician MUST size cords over
50 feet long to prevent motor damage.
Electrocution or fire could
result if this machine is
not grounded correctly or
if your electrical configu-
ration does not comply
with local and state codes.
Ensure compliance by
checking with a qualified
electrician!
