and amperage
requirements.

ELECTRICAL
WIRING
I
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.
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 fusebox
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 causes
the motor overload
protection
system
or
circuit
breaker
to trip, especially
in cold conditions.
NOTE:
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
100 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.
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.
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
fiat blade
terminal.
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 nominal
115 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
Figure
1). No
adapter
should
be used with this product.

Pour vous renseigner
sur les normes
d'intensite
et de
tension
de I'appareil,
ref6rez-vous
a I'etiquette
du numero
de
serie du compresseur
d'air.
I
Utilisez
un circuit
s_par_
Pour obtenir
le meilleur
rendement
possible
et une
raise
en marche
fiable,
le compresseur
d'air
dolt 6tre
install6
sur un circuit
s6par6,
aussi
pros que possible
d'une
boite
& fusibles
ou d'un
disjoncteur.
Le compresseur
utilise
toute
la capacite
d'un circuit
a usage
domestique
typique.
Si d'autres
appareils
electriques
tirent
du courant
sur le circuit
du compresseur,
il est possible
que le compresseur
ne puisse
pas demarrer.
Si la tension
est insuffisante
ou si le circuit
est
I
surcharge,
le demarrage
risque
d'6tre
lent et d'entrafner
en
consequence
le declenchement
du disjoncteur
ou de
I'interrupteur
de remise
en marche
du moteur,
surtout
s'il fait
froid.
REMARQUE
: II est recommande
d'utiliser
un disjoncteur.
Si le compresseur
est branche
sur un circuit
proteg6
par un
fusible,
utilisez
des fusibles
temporises
& double
el6ment
(Buss
Fusetron
de type <<T>> s eulement).
RALLONGES
I
REMARQUE
: #vitez
d'utiliser
des rallonges.
Pour obtenir
un rendement
optimum,
branchez
le c_ble
d'alimentation
du compresseur
directement
sur une prise de
courant
mise a la terre.
N'utilisez
pas de rallonge
sauf
necessit6
absolue.
Utilisez
plut6t
un tuyau flexible
plus long
pour atteindre
la zone oQ I'air est necessaire.
S'il I'utilisation
d'une
rallonge
est inevitable,
le cordon
electrique
ne dolt pas depasser
30 m (100 pi) et dolt 6tre d'un
