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). The plug must
be used with an outlet that has been installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
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.
