DUTY CYCLE (NOT SHOWN)
This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously.
However, to prolong the life of your air compressor, it is recommended
that a 50% average duty cycle be maintained; that is, the air
compressor pump should not run more than 5 minutes in any 10
minute period.
INSTALLATION
Grounding Instructions (Fig. 2)
WARNING: 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 (J).
1. The cord set and plug (J) with this unit
L
J

FIG. 2
contains a grounding pin (L). This
plug MUST be used with a grounded
outlet (K).
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used
must be installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
2. Ensure the outlet being used has the same configuration as the
grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
3. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are
signs of damage.
4. If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or
if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded,
have the installation checked by a qualified electrician.
DANGER: 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 electrician.
Extension Cords
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
• a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a
3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product
• in good condition
• no longer than 50' (15.2 m)
• 14 gauge (AWG) or larger. [Wire size increases as gauge number
decreases. 12 AWG and 10 AWG may also be used. DO NOT
USE 16 OR 18 AWG.)]
NOTICE: 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 Voltage and Minimum Branch Circuit Requirements under
Pump/Motor Specifications.
WARNING: Risk of Overheating. Certain air compressors can be
operated on a 15 amp circuit if the following conditions are met.
• Voltage supply to circuit must comply with the National Electrical
Code.
