Motor Reset And Wiring; Electrical Power Requirements - Sanborn Mfg L1682066.MN Manual Del Operador

MOTOR RESET SWITCH
WARNING:
Ensure that all guards and shrouds are in
place before pressing the reset switch to restart the
motor.
If the motor shuts down because of
overload, wait 10–15 minutes so the motor can
cool down, then press (NEVER force) the reset
switch (see H) to restart the motor.
NOTE: Some models are equipped with
a dual voltage motor 120/240 volt. Most
models are factory wired for 120 volt operation. If conversion from
120 volt to 240 volt is required, refer to the motor nameplate and
have the conversion completed by a Licensed Electrician.
ELECTRICAL WIRING
Refer to the air compressor's serial label for the unit's voltage and
amperage requirements.
Use a dedicated circuit
For best performance and reliable starting, the air compressor
must be plugged into a dedicated circuit, as close as possible to the
fuse box or circuit breaker. The compressor will use the full capacity
of a typical 15 amp household circuit. If any other electrical devices are
drawing from the compressor's circuit, the compressor may fail to start.
Low voltage or an overloaded circuit can result in sluggish starting that
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 properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinance.
DANGER:
Improper installation of the
grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to
either flat blade terminal of the plug. The wire `
insulation having an outer surface that is green with
or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
This product is for use on a 120 volt circuit. A cord with a grounding
plug, as shown here, shall be used.
Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug (see Fig. 5). No adapter should be used with this
product.
Check with a licensed electrician if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have
the proper outlet installed by a licensed electrician.

causes the motor overload protection system or circuit breaker to trip,
especially in cold conditions.
NOTE: To handle the initial electrical load of starting the air
compressor, a circuit breaker is recommended. If the air compressor is
connected to a circuit protected by a fuse, use dual element time delay
fuses (Buss Fusetron type "T" only).
EXTENSION CORDS
NOTE: Avoid use of extension cords.
For optimum performance, plug the compressor power cord directly
into a grounded wall socket. Do not use an extension cord unless
absolutely necessary. Instead, use a longer air hose to reach the area
where the air is needed.
If use of an extension cord cannot be avoided, the cord should be no
longer than 50 feet and be a minimum wire size of 12 gauge (AWG). Do
not use a 16 or 14 gauge extension cord.
Use only 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. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current.
