of the chassis.
AC Outlet – This outlet is always on when the power cord is attached to an active power
source.
REAR PANEL
AC Outlets – These 10 outlets (NEMA 5-15R) are rated for current loads up to 15 amps
per outlet at 120 volts. Although the JG11.0-20A is rated for a total current load of 20
amps, each outlet’s rating is limited to 15 amps. The JG11.0-15A is rated for a total current load of 15 amps with each outlet’s rating limited to 15 amps.
Power Cord – The power cord has a third pin safety ground connector. Do not defeat this
feature. Doing so could subject user to a hazardous condition.
POWER CORD
The JG11.0-20A is equipped with a 12 gauge power cord that measures slightly less than
15 feet in length. This cord has a NEMA5-20P plug that requires a 20 amp receptacle to
be connected to a power source. It can not be connected to a 15 amp receptacle.
The JG11.0-15A is equipped with a 12 gauge power cord that measures slightly less than
15 feet in length. This cord has a NEMA5-15P plug and can be connected to a 15 amp

TROUBLE SHOOTING
The JG11 is well designed and constructed. Every JG11 is submitted to a full functional test
before being shipped by Juice Goose. It requires neither maintenance nor adjustment. It is
unlikely to malfunction. However, there are potential events to note:
The JG11 will not come on or turns itself off.
a. Check the status of the power supplied to the unit. Use a voltage meter and/or polarity
tester to examine the status of incoming power.
b. Check that the circuit breaker is not tripped and that the current load on the unit does not
exceed its rated 20 amp capacity. If the breaker is tripped, remove sufficient current load to
reduce the total to no more than 20 amps, wait approximately 30 seconds after the tripping.
Turn the power switch/circuit breaker back on.
NOTE: If necessary, in order to turn off the JG11, the power cord to the JG11 can be unplugged from the wall or other power source.
If an observed problem can not be remedied, particularly if the problem seems severe or
dangerous, discontinue use of the JG11 and contact Juice Goose directly.
