SETUP, ADJUSTMENT and OPERATION
4 MK-101 Setup for Operation:
1. Before powering or starting, check for damage that could prevent this equipment from proper operation or
performing it’s intended function. Check for binding and alignment of moving parts. Check for damaged,
broken, or missing parts.
2. Verify the On/Off switch is in the OFF position.
3. Before connecting the MK-101 to a power supply, be sure the voltage, cycle and phase of the job site
power source meet the requirements of TABLE 3
VOLTAGE: 115v
CYCLE: 60hz
PHASE: 1-phase
TABLE 3
4. If using an extension power cord, made sure, the length and wire gauge correspond to the requirements
listed in TABLE 1 on page 9. An extension power cord that is too small in wire gauge (diameter), or too
long in length, will cause the motor to overheat and could cause premature failure.
5. Use an approved Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
6. Do not cover the motor vents as this could lead to motor overheating.
NOTE: In order to avoid breaker tripping, a 20-amp circuit breaker should be used.
Portable Generator:
If using a portable generator, ensure the generator meets the following minimum requirements:
5 KW
120/240 volts
41.7/20.8 amps
