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).

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. Units with an IEC Power Cord – make sure the IEC cord is properly seated into the IEC receptacle before powering up the machine.
Before You Plug In Machine
- Make sure all machine switches are OFF before plugging equipment into receptacle.
- Make sure wall outlet can accept the grounded plugs (where applicable) on the power supply cord.
- The wall outlet must have the proper polarity. If in doubt, have a competent electrician inspect the outlet and correct if necessary.
- DO NOT use a grounded to un-grounded receptacle adapter (where applicable).
- Install unit in a level position.
