To evaluate the hose/gun power requirements
1. Identify all hose/gun pairs based on the hose/gun receptacle to which
they are connected.
2. Examine the identification tag or plate on each hose and gun and record
the wattage of each in Column A of Table A-1. Enter a zero for any hose
or gun that is not installed.
3. Add the wattages of each hose/gun pair and place the sum in Column B
of Table A-1.
4. Add the wattages of hose/gun pair 1 and hose/gun pairs 2 and 3 and
place the sum in Column C of Table A-1.
5. Compare each of the wattages tabulated in Columns A, B, and C of Table
A-1 with the associated maximum allowable wattages in Table A-2.
6. Do one of the following:
S If each of the wattages calculated in step 5 do not exceed the
associated maximum allowable wattages listed in Table A-2, then the
power required by the hoses and guns is within acceptable limits.
S If any of the wattages calculated in step 5 does exceed an associated
maximum allowable wattage listed in Table A-2, then the
configuration or position of the hose/gun pairs must be rearranged,
shorter hoses must be used, or lower power guns must be used in
