3 Note: Do not mess with the two screws that control the pressure on the pressure switch....you will have a big problem. One is higher than the other and they are one in front of the other. Only mess with the two for the power.

0 First: Take off the pressure switch cover using single screw under on/off switch. Second: Bring in your wiring (12-2 with ground should suffice) from upper left side through hole that requires wire lock just like the wire heading to motor. Third: Locate two hot wire inlets above the pressure switch settings and below where the wires heading to the motor are hooked up. This will require looking over/around the pressure switch to see the two tighteners that have screws to loosen.

0 Fourth: Wire both hot and neutral to these inlets and the ground wire to the green screw near where you brought the wire in. Fifth: Inside of your breaker box, install a 220 V breaker that has two parts (one for each 110 V). Connect both the hot (black) wire and neutral (white) wire to each side of this breaker and the ground to the ground node.
