Installation & Assembly
A WARNING
The air compressor should be turned off, unplugged from
the power source, the air bled from the tank and the unit
allowed time to cool before any maintenance is performed.
Personal injuries could occur from moving parts, electrical
sources, compressed air or hot surfaces. The quick connect
assembly must be attached before use. Failure to assemble
correctly could result in leaks and possible injury. If unsure
of assembly instructions or you experience difficulty in the
assembly please call your local service department for
further information.
Improper installation of the grounding plug will result in a
risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord
or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to
either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an
outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is
the grounding wire. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided.
If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
Getting Started - Location of the Air Compressor
The air compressor should always be located in a clean,
dry and well ventilated environment. The unit should have
at minimum, 12 inches of space on each side. The air filter
intake should be free of any debris or obstructions.
Check the air filter on a daily basis to make sure it is clean
and in working order.
A WARNING
Risk Of Fire Or Explosion
This product incorporates snap action switch contacts and
a universal electric motor which tend to produce arcs and
sparking and therefore should not be exposed to flammable
liquids or vapors. This product is not intended for installation
or use in a commercial garage or shop environment.
A WARNING
Grounding Instructions
This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current.
This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding
wire with an appropriate grounding plug. (See the figure
below.) The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. Check with a qualified electrician or
service personnel if these instructions are not completely
understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
This product is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating
of 120 volts and is factory-equipped with a specific electric
cord and plug to permit connection to a proper electric
circuit. Make sure the product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. An adapter
should not be used with this product. If the product must
be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit,
qualified service personnel should make the reconnection.
Extension Cords
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the
plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. Cords must not exceed 25 feet and No. 12 AWG size
must be used. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Break In Procedures
No break in procedure is required by the user.
This product is factory tested to ensure proper operation and
performance.
