Extension Cords
Using extension cords may reduce the life of the

• Use at least a
14 gauge cord that does not
exceed 50 feet in length!
• The extension cord must also have a ground
wire and plug pin.
• A qualified electrician MUST size cords over
50 feet long to prevent motor damage.

The power from the manufactured leg of a phase
converter may damage electrical components if
connected to the wrong incoming power terminal
on your machine. Only connect the manufactured
leg to the S terminal (see the Electrical & Control
Wiring Diagram on Page 42 for identification).
