A certified electrician must furnish sufficient power for proper machine operation and install any supplied receptacle (reference unit Data Plate for model specific Volts AC, Hertz, and Wattage requirements). 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 Co.’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. Make sure cord is located to prevent a trip hazard or unit upset.

Before You Plug In Machine

1. 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 (where applicable).
5. Install the unit in a level position.

CAUTION
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Gold Medal Products Co., its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
