HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT 3. Inspect the plug and cord before
Location of the Air Compressor
1. Locate the air compressor in a
clean, dry and well ventilated
area.
2. The air compressor should be
located at least 12" (30.5 cm)
away from the wall or other
obstructions that will interfere
with the flow of air.
3. 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).
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.
2. Make sure the outlet being used
has the same configuration as the
grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN
ADAPTER. See illustration.

each use. Do not use if there are
signs of damage.
If these grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the compres-
sor is properly grounded, have the
installation checked by a qualified
electrician.
RISK OF
ELECTRICAL
SHOCK. 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 elec-
trician.
Extension Cords
If an extension cord must be used, be
sure it is:
1. 3-wire a extension cord that has a
3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot
receptaclethat will accept the plug on
the product.
2. in good condition
3. no longer than 50 feet
4. 14 gauge (AVVG)or larger.(Wiresize
increasesas gauge number decreas-
es. 12AWG and 10AWG may also be
used. DO NOTUSE 16 OR 18 AWG.)
_Risk of Property
Damage. The use of an
undersized extension cord will cause
voltage to drop resulting in power loss
to the motor and overheating. Instead
of using an extension cord, increase
the working reach of the air hose by
attaching another length of hose to its
end. Attach additional lengths of hose
as needed.
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the specification chart for the
voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
