POWER CONNECTIONS
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should
be protected with a time delay fuse. NOTE: Time delay fuses should be marked "D" in Canada and "T" in the US. If
an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding type plugs and matching
receptacle which will accept the machine's plug. Before connecting the machine to the power line, make sure the
switch (s) is in the "OFF" position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the
machine. All line connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.
Do not expose the machine to rain or operate the machine in damp locations.
MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
Your machine has a 5HP motor that is wired at 220 volts and 60 HZ alternating current. It may be wired for three
phase or single phase operation - check the spec plate on the motor.
gROUNDINg INSTRUCTIONS
Permanently connected machines:
If the machine is intended to be permanently connected, all wiring must be done by a qualified electrician and
conform to the National Electric Code and all local codes and ordinances.
*
THREE PHASE OPERATION: Three phase machines are not supplied with a power cord and must be permanently
connected to a building's electrical system. Extension cords can't be used with a three phase machine.
*
LVC MAgNETIC MOTOR CONTROL: If you purch-ased a machine that has a Low Voltage Magnetic Motor Control
System, refer to its instruction manual for installation guidance.
