SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The JG 8 Series products (JG8) are designed to operate with 120VAC, 60 Hz. Operation with
220 or 240 volts will cause damage and possibly cause personal injury.
CAUTIONS
1. The JG8 must be grounded. Defeating the unit’s grounding capability could
create a hazard.
2. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt service yourself.
Contact Juice Goose as directed in this manual if service is required.
3. Do not expose the JG8 to moisture. Avoid severe physical impacts to the unit.
DISCLAIMER
Juice Goose shall under no circumstances be held responsible for any loss, damage or injury resulting from the use of the JG8 in a manner inconsistent with any of the procedures
outlined in this document. The user is responsible for determining whether this product is
appropriate for the intended application.
Juice Goose is not responsible for any indirect, secondary or ancillary loss or damage, including personal injury, loss of or damage to property or loss of income resulting from the
operation or failure of this unit.
FRONT PANEL
Lighted Power On/Off Switch – This switch controls power to all 8 outlets on the back of
the chassis.
Light Tubes (JG8.0L and JG8.0LM) - The JG 8.0L and 8.0LM feature two pull out dimmable
lights that can be rotated to control the intensity and direction of the two light beams. After use, the lights slide inside the chassis to store conveniently away. These devices use 7
watt "night light" style bulbs whic h install from the front of each light tube assembly. To
replace bulbs, unscrew front tube cap and rotate bulb counter clockwise .
Voltage Meter (JG8.0LM) - The JG8.0-LM includes a 20 segment Voltage Meter that indicates levels of incoming AC voltage. This color coded meter displays safe (green), marginal (yellow) and dangerous (red) levels of incoming voltage. This meter can help diagnose problems that result from common AC power sags and swells.
REAR PANEL
AC Outlets – These 8 outlets (NEMA 5-15R) are rated for current loads up to 15 amps at
120 volts.
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.

INTERNAL PROTECTION COMPONENTS
The JG8 Series products have a Basic Level of AC power protection consisting of fast acting
metal oxide varistors between hot, neutral and ground. The JGJr also features a line capacitor
between hot and neutral to reduce high frequency line noise and AC line surges.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
The JG8 is well designed and constructed. Every JG8 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 JG8 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 15 amp capacity. If the breaker is tripped, remove sufficient current
load to reduce the total to no more than 15 amps, wait approximately 30 seconds after the tripping. Turn the power switch/circuit breaker back on.
One or both lights will not come on (JG8.0L and JG8.0LM). – Unplug power to the JG8. Unscrew the cap on the end of the tube(s). Remove the bulb(s) in question. Take care. If the
bulb is broken use a cloth or needle nose pliers to remove the component. The replacement
bulb is a 7 watt, candelabra base (e.g. night light bulb).
If an observed problem can not be remedied, particularly if the problem seems severe or dangerous, discontinue use of the JG8 and contact Juice Goose directly.
REPAIR
Should your product need service contact Juice Goose for assistance and authorization to
return the unit. PLEASE NOTE: a return authorization number is required in order for the
service personnel to correctly and promptly identify, repair and return your unit.
You may obtain a Return Authorization Number by calling: 713-772-1404 or sending email to
info@juicegoose.com.
