GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. In the event of a short cir-
cuit, 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 ground-
ing plug (see 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.
When used outside of the United
States of America a conversion
kit may be required for local use.
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 instal-
lation 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.
INSTALLATION
Location of the Air Compressor
Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area. The air com-
pressor should be located at least 12" away from the wall or other obstructions
that will interfere with the flow of air. The air compressor pump and shroud are
designed to allow for proper cooling. The ventilation openings on the compres-
sor are necessary to maintain proper operating temperature. Do not place rags
or other containers on or near these openings.
