Electrical Wiring
Refer to the Product Specifications on Page 3 for the voltage and amperage requirements of the T32337. For best performance and
reliable starting, the air compressor must be plugged into a dedicated circuit, as close as possible to the fuse box or circuit breaker. The
compressor will use the full capacity of a 20 amp circuit. If other devices are on the same circuit, the compressor may fail to start. Low
voltage or an overloaded circuit can result in sluggish starting that causes the motor overload protection system circuit breaker to trip,
especially in cold conditions.
NOTE!
See the chart below for the proper extension cord length.

Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage as well as a loss of power and overheating. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Grounding Instructions
This product is equipped with a cord with a grounding wire, making it 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 ordinance.
Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
WARNING!
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
grounding wire to flat blade terminal. The wire insulation with an outer surface
that is green, with or without yellow stripes, is the grounding wire.
This product is for use on a nominal 110 volt circuit. The outlet must have the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should
be used with this product. Do not alter the plug to fit into a non-ground or 2-slot receptacle.
ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS
Avoid use of extension cords. If using an extension cord is necessary, be sure to use a
cord with the correct specifications. For optimum performance, plug the compressor power
cord directly into a grounded wall socket. Do not use an extension cord unless absolutely
necessary. Instead, use a longer air hose to reach the area where the air is needed. If use of
an extension cord cannot be avoided, the cord should be no longer than 100 feet and be a
minimum cord size of 14 gauge (AWG).
