• Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs.
• Extension cords comply with specifications.
• 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. Time delay fuses
should be 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.
Location
• Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area.
• The air compressor should be located at least 12" (30.5 cm) away
from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow
of air.
• The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for
proper cooling. The ventilation openings on the compressor are
necessary to maintain proper operating temperature. Do not place
rags or other containers on or near these openings.
