above or below the nameplate voltage. For heavy
loads, however, the voltage at motor terminals
must equal the voltage specified for your model.
5. Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or
incorrect connections, overload, low voltage
(such as small size wire in the supply circuit) or
to overly long supply circuit wire. Always check
the connections, the load and the supply circuit
whenever motor doesn't work well. Check wire
sizes and length with the Wire Size Chart

WIRE SIZES

NOTE: Make sure the proper extension cord is
used and is in good condition. Use only 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong grounding
plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the too-
l's plug. The use of any extension cord will cause
some loss of power. To keep this to a minimum
and to prevent overheating and motor burnout,
use the table at right to determine the minimum
wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord.
