INSTALLATION AND STAR'FUP PROCEDURES
Location of the Air Compressor
Operate the air compressor ina dry, dean, cool and well
ventilated area, The air intake muffler must be kept clear
of obstructions which could reduce air delivery of the air
compressor, The air compressor pump and case are
designed to allow for proper cooling. Clean or blow off
dust or dirt that collects on air compressor. A clean air
compressor runs cooler and provides longer service.
The ventilation openings on your air compressor are
necessary to maintain proper operating temperature.
Do not place rags or other containers on or near these
openings.
Extension Cords
USe extra air hose instead of an extension cord TOavoid
voltage drop end power loss to the motor.
If you mum use an extension cord 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 compressor,
• in good condition.
• 50 feet or shorter.
• 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as
gauge number decreases.) 10 AWG and 8 AWG,
may also be used, Do not use 14 or 16 AWG.
.
The air compressor is designed for 120 voltoperation
only and is equipped with a cord having a grounding
wire with an appmgriate grounding plug. The plug
must be used with an outtet that has been instalted
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances (see figure 2). The outlet must have the
same configuration as the plug. DO NOT USE AN
ADAPTER.
2. Do not modify the plug that has been provided. If it
does not fit the available outlet, the correct outlet
should be installed by a qualified electrician.
3. Before each use, inspect the plug and cord. Do not
use if them are signs of damage.
