Installation Instructions

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI/GFI) protection is a system that shuts down the
electric circuit (opens it) when it senses an unexpected loss of power, presumably to
ground. GFCI/GFI circuit protection is not recommended with our equipment. If code
requires the use of a GFCI/GFI, then you must follow the local code. The circuit must be
dedicated and sized properly, and there must be a panel GFCI/GFI breaker. We do not
recommend GFCI/GFI outlets as they are known for more intermittent nuisance trips than
panel breakers.

MINIMUM POWER CORD SPECIFICATIONS

Maximum Breaker Size
15 amp
20 amp
If a power cord is used, the wire size to the receptacle is dependent upon location,
materials used, length of run, etc., so it must be determined by a qualified electrician.
Local, state or national requirements will supersede our minimum requirements.
