Operating Instructions
Never use an extension
cord with this product.
Use additional air hose
instead of an extension
cord to avoid power loss and
permanent motor damage. Use of an
extension cord voids the warranty.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. This product is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Figure 2. Make sure the
product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the
plug. This product must be
grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces risk of electrical shock by
providing an escape wire for electric
current. This product is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire
with an appropriate grounding plug.
Plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Improper use of
grounding plug can
result in a possible risk
of electrical shock!
Do not use a
grounding adapter
with this product!
2. If repair or replacement of cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect
grounding wire to either flat blade
terminal. The wire with insulation
having an external surface that is
green (with or without yellow
stripes) is the grounding wire.
Never connect
green (or green
and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
3. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether product is
properly grounded. Do not modify
plug provided; if it will not fit outlet,
have proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
WIRING
1. Local electrical wiring codes differ
from area to area. Source wiring,
plug and protector must be rated for
at least the amperage and voltage
indicated on motor nameplate, and
meet all electrical codes for this
minimum.
2. Use a slow blow fuse or a circuit
breaker.
Overheating, short
circuiting and fire
damage will result from inadequate
wiring, etc.
NOTE: 120 volt, 15 amp units can be
operated on a 120 volt circuit under
the following conditions:
a. No other electrical appliances
or lights are connected to the
same branch circuit.
b. Voltage supply is normal.
c. Circuit is equipped with a 15
amp circuit breaker or a 15
amp slow blow fuse.
3. If these conditions cannot be met or
if nuisance tripping of current
protection device occurs, it may be
necessary to operate compressor
from a 120 volt, 20 amp circuit.
Pressure switch - Auto/Off Switch - In
the AUTO position, the compressor
shuts off automatically when tank
pressure reaches the maximum preset
pressure. In the OFF position, the
compressor will not operate. This
switch should be in the OFF position
when connecting or disconnecting the

OPTIONAL MOUNTING
WALL CABLE INSTALLATION
Included with the safety cable are two
lag screws and washers.
Do not secure the
compressor with
toggle bolts into drywall. Drywall
sheeting or plaster will not support the
weight of the compressor.
1. Place an isolation pad beneath each
foot of the compressor to minimize
vibration.
2. Position the cable through the
baseplate as shown in Figure 1.
3. Place the screws through the washers
then through looped ends of cable.
4. Secure the screws to a stud within a
framed wall. Use anchors if the wall
is concrete.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
All wiring and
electrical
connections should be performed by a
qualified electrician. Installation must
be in accordance with local codes and
national electrical codes.
