SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

220V Single-Phase

Serious personal injury could occur if you
connect the machine to the power source
before you have completed the set up pro-
cess. DO NOT connect the machine to the
power source until instructed to do so.
Amperage Draw
The 5 HP motor on the Model G0591 will draw the
following amps:
Motor Draw at 220V .............................. 22 Amps
Minimum Circuit Requirements
Only connect your machine to a circuit that meets
the requirements below. Check to see if the wires
and circuit breaker in your circuit are capable of
handling the amperage draw from your machine,
as well as any other machines that could be
operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure,
consult a qualified electrician.
Minimum Circuit Requirement .................25 Amp
Minimum Cord Requirements
Use the following type of cord to connect your
machine to power (a cord is not provided):
Cord ............................................................3 wire
Gauge .................................................. 10 Gauge
Extension Cords
We do not recommend the use of extension cords
on 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the place-
ment of your equipment and the installed wiring to
eliminate the need for extension cords.
If you find it absolutely necessary to use an exten-
sion cord at 220V with your machine, check with
a qualified electrician for the correct sizing, type,
and maximum possible length for your needs.

Another option for increased safety is to hardwire
your machine directly to the circuit breaker and
install a locking shut-off lever near the machine
as a way to quickly disconnect the power and
prevent accidental starting (see Figure 5).
Grounding
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock. The ground-
ing wire in the cord must be properly connected
to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the
outlet must be properly installed and grounded.
All electrical connections must be made in accor-
dance with local codes and ordinances.
Electrocution or fire could
result if this machine is
not grounded correctly
or if your electrical con-
figuration does not com-
ply with local and state
codes. Ensure compliance
by checking with a quali-
fied electrician!
