Westward Operating Instructions and Parts Manual

EXTENSION CORDS

Use extra air hose instead of an
extension cord to avoid voltage drop
and power loss to the motor, and to
prevent overheating.
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
• 14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire
size increases as gauge number
decreases. 12 AWG and 10
AWG may also be used. DO
NOT USE 16 OR 18 AWG.)
VOLTAGE AND CIRCUIT
PROTECTION
Refer to the specification chart for the
voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
Certain air compressors can be
operated on a 15 amp circuit if the
following conditions are met.
1. Voltage supply through branch
circuit is 15 amps.
2. Circuit is not used to supply any
other electrical needs (lights,
appliances, etc.).
3. Extension cords comply with
specifications.
4. 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.
Compact Air Compressor
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.

KNOW YOUR AIR COMPRESSOR

READ THIS OWNER'S MANUAL
AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE
OPERATING YOUR UNIT. Compare
the illustrations with your unit to
familiarize yourself with the location of
various controls and adjustments.
Save this manual for future reference.

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION

Pressure Adjustable Valve: The
pressure valve controls the amount of
pressure going from the air
compressor to the accessory. The
pressure adjustable valve can be
used to set approximate pressure
between 10 and 125 PSI (125 PSI is
the highest pressure this compressor
will deliver).
