The extension
cord used to reach the pow-
er source
must be heavy enough to carry
current from the power source the full length
of the extension
cord to the unit. An under-
sized extension

in loss of power
and
overheating.
If in doubt, use the next heavi-
er gauge. The lower the gauge number, the
heavier
the cord.
