MG6-OLVERT-3B Rev. 2 6/27/00
Typical Wiring Of Air compressor Units with 60, 80,
and 120 Gallons Capacity
INSTALLATION (cont'd)
Air Compressor Anchoring Methods
VIBRATION CAN WEAKEN THE AIR TANK
AND CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. THE AIR
COMPRESSOR MUST BE PROPERLY
MOUNTED AS ILLUSTRATED BELOW.
This air compressor must be bolted to the floor. Bolting holes
are provided in the base feet. Mount the air compressor on a
solid, level foundation. Support air compressor weight evenly
on all four feet. Solid shims may be used if necessary.
ISOLATOR WASHER
(If SUPPLIED)
3/8 FLAT
Wiring Instructions
Perform electrical wiring according to the following instructions:
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL GROUNDING CAN
RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
WIRING FOR THE PRESSURE SWITCH AND
ELECTRICAL MOTOR SHOULD BE DONE BY A
LICENSED ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE
WITH NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES AND
ORDINANCES.
Install the air compressor outfit as close to the main power
supply as possible. This practice will avoid using long lengths
of electrical wiring for the power supply which can cause power
loss to the motor. When connecting wires make sure that:
1. The amperage rating of the electrical box is adequate.
2. The supply line has the same electrical characteristics
(voltage, cycle, and phase) as motor.
Refer to the Specification Chart in the Outfit Parts Manual for
your air compressor outfit.
NOTE: THESE OUTFITS DO NOT INCLUDE ANY
WIRING BECAUSE OF VARIOUS INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENTS.
Wiring must be such that full motor nameplate voltage plus
or minus 10%, is available at the motor terminals during
starting. Refer to local codes for recommended wire sizes for
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 the air compressor head,
compressor cylinder, or compressor outlet tube.
If humidity is high, an air filter can be installed to remove
excessive moisture. Closely follow instructions packaged with
the filter for proper installation. It must be installed as close as
possible to the accessory.
The air compressor should be as near to air outlets as possible
in order to avoid long pipe lines. Do not place the air compressor
where heat is excessive.
Do not use an extension cord. To avoid voltage drop and power
loss to the motor, use extra air hose instead of an extension cord.
Low voltage can cause damage to the motor.
To Install Air Filter
(if equipped)
Attach elbow to pump using bolts provided. Tighten until
snug. Insert threaded end of air filter assembly into elbow
and tighten until snug.
Do not operate air compressor without air filter
assembly installed as this will cause damage to
the outfit.
