Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the Parts Manual for the
voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
Certain air compressors can be
operated on a 15 amp circuit if the
following conditions are met.
1. Voltage supply through branch
circuit is 15 amps.
2. Circuit is not used to supply any
other electrical needs (lights,
appliances, etc.).
3. Extension cords comply with
specifications.
4. Circuit is equipped with a 15
amp circuit breaker or 15 amp
time delay fuse. NOTE: If
compressor is connected to a
circuit protected by fuses, use
only time delay fuses marked "D"
in Canada and "T" in the US.
If any of the above conditions cannot
be met, or if operation of the
compressor repeatedly causes
interruption of the power, it may be
necessary to operate it from a 20
amp circuit. It is not necessary to
change the cord set.
Air Distribution System
Plastic or PVC
pipe is not
designed for use with compressed
air. Regardless of its indicated
pressure 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.
120/240 Dual Voltage Motor
This model has a dual voltage motor,
120 and 240 volt. It is wired for 120
volt but can be converted to 240 volt
operation. Instructions for connecting
the motor for operation at 240 volt
can be found printed on the label
attached to the side of the motor.
When converting to
240V operation, the
attached three-prong 120V cord
assembly must be replaced with a
three-pronged 240V cord assembly
(K-0080) that can be purchased
through a Sears Service Center.
