SETTING UP THE MIXER
10
Caution Under no circumstances should you modify the
plug if it does not fit the outlet. Check with a
qualified electrician or serviceman if you are not
sure how to ground this unit.
Supply Current
The table "Minimum Wire Gauge" (below) shows the recommended wire size for
home run lengths. NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the wire.The
following chart is the wire gauge size required for the distance from the circuit box
to the grounded receptacle (for up to 15 amperes at 115V, 60 Hz). Smaller gauge
wire than shown on the table could result in a voltage drop that can effect the
operation of your unit.
Extension Cords
Extension cords for 220 VAC models are not recommended. If an extension cord is
to be used, it should not be combined with others. Use only a 3-wire extension cord
that has a 3-pole grounding plug. Power should be provided by a 3-pole receptacle
that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure that your extension cord is in
good condition. It must have # 14 AWG conductors up to 25 feet long. An
extension cord no longer than 50 feet is permissible provided it has conductors of at
least # 12 AWG. It must be heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.
