Inspection of Shipment
After unpacking, check thoroughly for any damage which may have occurred in transit. Claims
should be filed immediately with the transportation company. The warranty does not cover
damage that occurs in transit, or damage caused by abuse, or consequential damage due to the

Your electrician must furnish sufficient power for proper machine operation. We recommend
this equipment be on a dedicated and protected circuit. Failure to wire properly will void the
warranty and may result in damage to the machine. It is Gold Medal Products Company’s
recommendation that this machine be plugged directly into a wall outlet. The use of extension
cords is not recommended due to safety concerns, and may cause sacrificed and/or reduced
performance.
Before You Plug In Machine
. Make sure all machine switches are in the OFF position before plugging the equipment
into the receptacle.
2. Make sure the wall outlet can accept the grounded plugs (where applicable) on the
power supply cord.
3. The wall outlet must have the proper polarity. If in doubt, have a competent
electrician inspect the outlet and correct if necessary.
4. DO NOT use a grounded to un-grounded receptacle adapter.
5. Install the unit in a level position.
