DUTY CYCLE
This air compressor pump is capable
of running continuously. However,
to prolong the life of your air com-
pressor, it is recommended that a
50%-75% average duty cycle be
maintained; that is, the air compressor
pump should not run more than 30-45
minutes in any given hour.

INSTALLATION
HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT
Location of the Air Compressor
Locate the air compressor in a
clean, dry and well ventilated
area.
The air compressor should be
located at least 12" (
30 cm)
away
from the wall or other obstruc-
tions 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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 (see following illustra-
tions).
