INSTALLATION AND STARTUP PROCEDURES
Location of the Air Compressor
operate the air compressor in a dry, dean, cool and well
v^ilated area. The air intake muffler must
be kept clear
of obstructions which could reduce air delivery of the air
compressor. The air compressor pump and case are
designed to allow tor proper cooling. Dean or blow off
dust or dirt that coltects on aJr compressor. A clean air
com^essor runs cooler and provides longer service.
Ttte ventilation openings on your air compressor are
necessary to maintain proper operating temperature.
Do not place rags or other containers on or near these
openings.
Extension Cords
Use extra ho^ instead of an extension cord to avoid
voltage drop and power loss to the motor.
if you must use an extension txjrd be sure it is:
• a 3-wire extension cord tiiat has a 3-biade grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug
on the compressor,
• in good coridition.
• 50 feet or shorter.
• 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increase as
gauge number decreases.) 10 AWG and 8 AWG,
may also be used. Do not use 14 or 16 AWG.
Grounding Instructions
W A R N I N G
1. The air compressor is designed for 120 volt operation
only and is equipped with a cord hanring a grounding
wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The pltg
must be used with an outlet that has been installed
arto ground^ in accordance with ail local codes and
ordinances (see figure 2). The outlet must have the
same cxjnfiguration as the plug. DO NOT USE AN
ADAPTER.
2. Do not modify the plug that has been provided. If it
does not fit the avallabie outlet, toe correct outlet
should be installed by a qualified etoctrtcian.
3. Before eatto use, ir^pect toe plug and cord. Do not
use if there are signs of damage.
A DANGER
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IF REPAIR­
ING OR REPLACING CORD OR PLUG, THE
GROUNDING WIRE MUST BE KEPT SEPA­
RATE
FROM THE CURRENT CARRYING
WIRES. NEVER CONNECT THE GROUND­
ING WIRE TO A FLAT BLADE PLUG TER­
MINAL.
(THE GROUNDING WIRE HAS
EITHER GREEN INSULATION OR GREEN
INSULATION WITH A YELLOW STRIPE).
If these grounding irrstojctions are mX completely under­
stood, or if in doubt as to wtoetoer tfto comrxessor is
properly grounded, have the installation dtedred by a
qualified electridan.
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN A
RISK
OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IN THE
EVENT OF A SHORT CIRCUIT, GROUNDING
REDUCES THE RISK OF SHOCK BY PRO­
VIDING AN ESCAPE WIRE FOR THE ELEC­
TRIC
CURRENT THIS AIR COMPRESSOR
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. BEAD
