Circuit Breaker Requirements
Install your air compressor on a dedicated
circuit to reduce the possibility of overload-
ing the circuit and tripping the circuit break-
er. However, if an unusual load does not
exist, and the circuit breaker still trips, have
the circuit inspected by a qualified electri-
cian. Never use a larger circuit breaker
than stated below, or you will increase the
risk of fire.

Extension Cords
In the event of an electrical short, ground-
ing reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance to dis-
perse electric current. These machines are
equipped with power cords having an
equipment-grounding conductor. See
Figure 1. The outlet must be properly
installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
Grounding
Figure 1. Ground plug configuration.
If you find it necessary to use an extension
cord with your compressor, make sure the
cord is rated Standard Service (grade S) or
better. The extension cord must also con-
tain a ground wire and plug pin. Always
repair or replace extension cords when
they become worn or damaged.
Overheating, short circuit and fire
damage will result form inadequate
wiring. Follow the guidelines in this
section.
Potential for electrical shock haz-
ard, this equipment must be
grounded. Verify that any existing
electrical outlet and circuit you
use is actually grounded.
