Electrical Requirements

Recommended Grounding Method

This compactor is for use on a single phase, 115-volt, 60 Hz, AC

only, 15- or 20-amp fused and properly grounded circuit and is

equipped with a grounding plug as shown below. It is recommended

that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

This compactor must be grounded while in use to reduce the risk

of electric shock. The compactor is equipped with a 3-conductor

cord and 3 prong grounding-type plug to fit the proper

grounding-type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow)

conductor in the cord is the grounding wire.

NOTE: Do not connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a

live terminal.
