WashR PRO | Recommended wire gauge, AWG, if the unit will be connected to a power extension cord?

Using an extension cord with your WashR PRO? Choosing the correct wire gauge is crucial to ensure your unit runs safely and efficiently without power loss or overheating.

When using an extension cord, follow these guidelines:

WIRE GAUGE (AWG) MAXIMUM LENGTH
12 AWG Up to 30 metres (100 feet)
13 AWG Up to 25 metres (82 feet)
14 AWG Up to 20 metres (65 feet)
⚠️ Note: Using a cord that is too long or too thin can cause voltage drop, reduced performance, or even damage to your unit.

For best results, always use the shortest, thickest extension cord possible.
