This  machine  draws  the  following  amps  under 
maximum load:

Amp Draw ........................................... 3.75 Amps

Power Supply Circuit Requirements

You MUST connect your machine to a grounded 
circuit that is rated for the amperage given below. 
Never replace a circuit breaker on an existing cir-
cuit with one of higher amperage without consult-
ing  a  qualified  electrician  to  ensure  compliance 
with wiring codes. 

If you are unsure about the 

wiring codes in your area or you plan to con-

nect your machine to a shared circuit, consult 

a qualified electrician.

Minimum Circuit Size .............................15 Amps

This machine MUST have a ground prong in 

the plug to help ensure that it is grounded. 

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 using extension cords, but 
if you find it absolutely necessary:

• 

Use  at  least  a  16  gauge  cord  that  does  not 
exceed 50 feet in length!

• 

The extension cord must have a ground wire 
and plug pin.

• 

A qualified electrician MUST size cords over 
50 feet long to prevent motor damage.

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

Serious  personal  injury  could  occur  if  you 

connect the machine to power before com-

pleting the setup process. DO NOT connect 

the  machine  to  the  power  until  instructed 

later in this manual.

Electrocution or fire could 

result  if  machine  is  not 

grounded and installed in 

compliance with electrical 

codes.  Compliance  MUST 

be  verified  by  a  qualified 

electrician!

Power Connection Device

The Model H3118 comes with a 5-15 plug, similar 
to 

Figure 1

, to connect the machine to power.

Reduce the risk of electrocution by keeping 

all connections dry and off the ground. DO 

NOT touch plugs with wet hands. Failure to 

follow  these  warnings  could  result  in  seri-

ous injury.
