GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, ground-
ing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an
appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is prop-
erly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

M M E E N N D D E E D D as this can result in the loss of power to your air compressor which
can prevent the motor from starting or running properly. This can also cause
your fuse to blow or circuit breaker to trip. Running your air compressor on an
B B
undersized extension cord will cause permanent damage to internal switches
and overheating of the electric motor. Use an additional length of air hose rather
than an extension cord.
If you must use an extension cord, it should be plugged into a G G F F C C I I found in circuit
boxes or protected receptacles. Use only UL listed 3-wire extension cords that have
a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the
product. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an exten-
sion cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. Refer to the guide on the next page for minimum gauge required for exten-
sion cords.

always disconnect by pulling on plug. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges.
Always shut OFF the air compressor AUTO/ON pressure switch before unplugging
the compressor. Always disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before
disconnecting the product from the extension cord.
