GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product should be connected to
a metallic, permanent wiring system,
or an equipment-grounding terminal
or lead on the product and comply
with national and local electrical
codes.
Refer to the product specification
found in the front of this manual for
the voltage and minimum branch cir-
cuit requirements.
Air Distribution System
Plastic or PVC pipe
is not designed for
use with compressed air.
Regardless of its indicated pres-
sure rating, plastic pipe can burst
from air pressure. Use only metal
pipe for air distribution lines.
The next figure represents a typical
air distribution system. The following
are tips to remember when setting up
the air compressor’s air distribution
system.
Wiring Instructions
RISK OF ELECTRI-
CAL SHOCK.
Improper electrical grounding can
result in electrical shock. The
wiring should be done by a quali-
fied electrician to comply with
national and local electrical codes.
A qualified electrician needs to knows
the following before wiring:
1. The amperage rating of the elec-
trical box should be adequate.
Refer to the product specifica-
tions, found in the front of this
manual, for this information.
2. The supply line should have the
same electrical characteristics
(voltage, cycle, phase) as the
motor. Refer to the motor name-
plate, on side of motor, for this
information.
NOTE: The wiring must be the same
as the motor nameplate voltage plus
or minus 10%. Refer to local codes
for recommended wire sizes, correct
wire size, and maximum wire run;
undersize wire causes high amp draw
and overheating to the motor.
Electrical wiring
must be located
away from hot surfaces such as
manifold assembly, compressor
outlet tubes, heads, or cylinders.
