2. Ensure the outlet being used has the same configuration as the
grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
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.
DANGER: Risk of Electrical Shock. 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.
Extension Cords
If an extension cord must be used, 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 product
• in good condition
• no longer than 50 feet
• 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge
number decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO
NOT USE 14 OR 16 AWG.)
CAUTION: The use of an undersized extension cord will cause
voltage to drop resulting in power loss to the motor and overheating.
Instead of using an extension cord, increase the working reach of
the air hose by attaching another length of hose to its end. Attach
additional lengths of hose as needed.
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the Voltage and Minimum Branch Circuit Requirements
under Pump/Motor Specifications.
CAUTION: Certain air compressors can be operated on a
15 amp circuit if the following conditions are met.
• Voltage supply to circuit must comply with the National
Electrical Code.
• Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs.
• Extension cords comply with specifications.
• Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp
time delay fuse. NOTE: If compressor is connected to a circuit
protected by fuses, use only time delay fuses. Time delay
fuses should be marked "D" in Canada and "T" in the US.
If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the
compressor repeatedly causes interruption of the power, it may be
necessary to operate it from a 20 amp circuit. It is not necessary
to change the cord set.
Compatibility
NOTE: Always use an air line filter to remove moisture when
spraying paint.
Location
Place the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area
at least 12" (30 mm) away from the wall or other obstructions that
will interfere with the flow of air. Keep the compressor away from
areas that have dirt and/or volatile fumes in the atmosphere. These
impurities may clog the intake filter and valves, causing inefficient
operation.
WARNING: The air compressor pump and shroud are designed
to allow for proper cooling. The ventilation openings on the com-
pressor are necessary to maintain proper operating temperature.
Do not place rags or other containers on or near these openings.
Place the air compressor on a flat surface resting on the rubber
feet and wheels.
