INSTALLATION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. In the event of a short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric current. This air compressor must be
properly grounded.
The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire
with an appropriate grounding plug (see following illustrations).
1. The cord set and plug with this unit contains a grounding pin. This plug
MUST be used with a grounded outlet.
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must be installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
2. Make sure the outlet being used
has the same configuration as the
grounded plug.
DO NOT USE AN
ADAPTER. See illustration.
3. Inspect the plug and cord before each
use. Do not use if there are signs of
damage.
4. If these grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is
properly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL
SHOCK.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, a
correct outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician.
Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified electrician.
Location of the Air Compressor
• Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry, and well ventilated area.
•
The air compressor should be located at least 12" away from the wall or
other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air.
•
The air filter must be kept clear of obstructions which could reduce air flow
to the air compressor.
•
The air compressor requires fresh air flow for proper cooling. DO NOT
ALLOW THE COMPRESSOR TO GET WET.
