INSTALLATION
CONNECTING TO THE POWER SOURCE
NOTE:
The unit must be plugged into a dedicated
electrical line with no other equipment using
the same circuit.
Connect the mixer to a separate, dedicated circuit; for example: 120 volt, 20
ampere. The mixer requires a single, grounded outlet. No other equipment is
to be used on this dedicated line. See
"GROUNDING" on page 13.
EXTENSION CORDS
cords for 220 VAC models are not recommended. If an extension
cord is to be llsed for 110 VAC models,
it should not be combined with other
extension cords.
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a
slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. This
equipment draws 6.4 Amps
at 115 VAC. An undersized cord can cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss
of power, overheating.
The following chart represents the wire gauge size required in extension
cords for the distance from the grounded receptacle to the equipment.

GROUNDING
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS -This product should be grounded. In the
event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do
not connect the grounding wire to either tlat blade terminal.
The wire with
insulation having an outer surface that
is green with or without yellow
stripes is the grounding wire.
DANGER:
IA.
ill result
Improper use of the grounding plug can
in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood. or
if in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not
fit the outlet. have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 3
on page 14. A temporary
adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure 5
on 14 may be
used to connect that plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure 4 on page
14, if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter
should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green colored ridged ear, lug or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly ground outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used,
it must be
held in place by a metal screw.
