SECTION 4 − INSTALLATION 4-1. Specifications If the unit is operated from a 30* ampere, 115 volt circuit or a 15** ampere, 230 volt circuit, a different input power plug must be installed on the power cord. See Section 4-9 for instructions. *A 30 ampere branch circuit is recommended for maximum performance. Performance on a 20 ampere branch service may be limited due to the circuit breaker or line fuse. Reducing unit output amperage will minimize circuit breaker tripping or blowing a line fuse
