Extension Cords
We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine. If you must use an extension
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must
contain a ground wire, match the required plug
and receptacle, and meet the following require-
ments:
Minimum Gauge Size ...........................14 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better).......50 ft.
Voltage Conversion
The voltage conversion MUST be performed by
an electrician or a qualified service personnel. The
voltage conversion is a two step process involving
rewiring the motor for the new voltage and install-
ing a new plug according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
Note: If the diagram included on the motor con-
flicts with the one in this manual, the motor may
have changed since the manual was printed. If
this is the case, use the diagram provided inside
the motor wiring junction box instead of the one
provided in this manual.
Items
Needed:
Qty
Wire Nut 14 AWG ............................................. 1
Electrical Tape ................................... As Needed
Nema 6-15 Plug ................................................. 1
To convert the machine to 220V:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Remove the 5-15 plug from the cord.
3. Remove the two wire nuts from the wires
shown in
Figure 4.
4. Re-wire the motor as shown in Figure 4.
5. Tighten all wire nuts and secure them with
electrical tape so they cannot vibrate loose
during motor operation.
6. Install the 6-15 plug on the power cord per
the plug manufacturer's instructions.
