INSTALLATION AND STARTUP PROCEDURES
Location of the Air Compressor
operate the air compressor in a dry, dean, cool and well
ventilated 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 for proper cooling. Clean or blow off
dust or dirt that collects on air compressor. A clean air
compressor runs cooler and provides longer service.
The 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 air hose instead of an extension cord to avoid
voltage drop and power loss to the motor.
If you must use an extension cord be sure it is:
♦ a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug
on the compressor.
• in good condition.
• 50 feet or shorter.
* 14 gauge (AWG) or larger. {Wire size increases as
gauge number decreases.) 12 AWG, 10 AWG and 8
AWG, may also be used. Do not use 16 AWG or
thinner.
1. The air compressor is designed for 120 volt operation
only and is equipped with a cord having a grounding
wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug
must be used with an outlet that has been installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances (see figure 2). The outlet must have the
same configuration as the plug. DO NOT USE AN
' ADAPTER,
2. Do not modify the plug that has been provided. If it
does not fit the available outlet, the correct outlet
should be installed by a qualified electrician.
3. Before each use, inspect the plug and cord. Do not
use if there are signs of damage.
Grounding Instructions
WARNING
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 instructions are not completely under­
stood, 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 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 SE PROPERLY GROUNDED. READ
