Compact Air Compressor
Installation
LOCATION OF THE AIR
COMPRESSOR
Locate the air compressor in a clean,
dry and well ventilated area. The air
compressor pump and shroud are
designed to allow for proper cooling.
The ventilation openings on the
compressor are necessary to maintain
proper operating temperature. Do not
place rags or other containers on or
near these openings.
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.
Model 3JR69A
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.

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.
Model 3JR69A
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.

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).
