ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power
source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Unit cycles
automatically when power is on. When performing
maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage
sources, compressed air, or moving parts. Personal
injuries can occur. Before performing any
maintenance or repair, disconnect power source
from the compressor and bleed off all air pressure.
UNPACKING
Remove unit from carton and discard

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"
(30.5 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

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

1. This product must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This product is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper installation of the grounding
plug is able to result in a risk of electric shock. When
repair or replacement of the cord or plug is required,
do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade
terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer
surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is
the grounding wire.
2. Substitution of the signal word "DANGER" for
"WARNING" is not prohibited when the risk associated
with the product is such that a situation exists which if
not avoided will result in death or serious injury.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman when
the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or when in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided; if it does not fit the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician
3. This product is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and
has a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in
the figure. Only connect the product to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. Do not use
an adapter with this product.
Danger: Risk of electrical shock. IMPROPER
GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
• Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the
available outlet, a correct outlet should be installed by a
qualified electrician.
• Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a
qualified electrician.
Extension Cords
If an extension cord must be used, 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 product
• in good condition
• plug is not worn
• no longer than 50 feet (15.2 m)
• 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.)
NOTE: The use of an undersized extension cord will cause
voltage to drop resulting in power loss to the motor and
overheating. Instead of using an extension cord, increase
the working reach of the air hose by attaching another
length of hose to its end. Attach additional lengths of hose
as needed. Always use a minimum 3/8" (9.5 mm) or greater
air hose rated at 300 PSI.
