INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
Wiring Instructions
If your compressor unit is not equipped with a plug-in type
power cord, perform electrical wiring according to the
following instructions:
IMPROPER ELECTRICAL GROUNDING CAN
RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
WIRING SHOULD BE DONE BY A LICENSED
ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH NA-
TIONAL AND LOCAL CODES AND ORDI-
NANCES.
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.
Install the 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.
Refer to the Specification Chart (cover page) for your air
compressor outfit.
2.The supply line has the same electrical characteristics
(voltage, cycle, and phase) as motor.
Electrical wiring must be located away
from hot surfaces such as the compressor
head, compressor cylinder, or compres-
sor outlet tube.
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to The Specification Chart for the voltage and circuit
protection requirements of your compressor. Use only a
fuse or circuit breaker that is the same rating as the branch
circuit the air compressor is operated on. If the compressor
is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use only dual
element time delay fuses. See Specification Chart.
