TOOLS NEEDED FOR ASSEMBLY
S
• 9/16" socket or open end wrench for
attaching the wheels or removing
H
shipping boards
• 3/8" open end wrench or socket to
tighten handle screws
INSTALLING WHEELS AND
ISOLATORS
The wheels and
handle do not
provide adequate clearance,
stability or support for pulling the
unit up and down stairs or steps.
It may be neces-
sary to brace or
support one end of the outfit when
attaching the wheels and the isola-
tors because the air compressor will
have a tendency to tip.
1. Install one shoulder bolt and one nut
for each wheel using upper bolt
hole. Tighten securely. The outfit
will sit level if the wheels are
properly installed.
2. Install isolators to the front bracket.
LOCATION OR AIR COMPRESSOR
Locate air compressor in a clean, dry,
well ventilated area. Air filter must be
kept clear of obstructions, which could
reduce air delivery of the air
compressor. The air compressor should
be located at least 12" away from the
wall or other obstructions that will
interfere with air flow. Air compressor
head and shroud are designed to allow
proper cooling. If humidity is high, air
filter can be installed to remove
excessive moisture. Follow air filter
instructions for proper installation.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN
TOUCHING EXPOSED METAL SUCH AS
THE COMPRESSOR HEAD OR OUTLET
TUBE CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS BURNS.
EXTENSION CORD
To avoid voltage drop and power loss to
the motor use extra air hose instead of an
extension cord. If an extension cord must
be used, be sure it is:
1. 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.
2. In good condition.
3. No longer than 50 feet.
4. 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. Wire size
increases as gauge number
decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may
also be used. (DO NOT USE A 14
OR 16 AWG.)
converted to 240 volts from 120 volt
operation. When converting a specific
model to 240 volt operation, the
attached three-prong 120 volt plug
must be replaced with the three-
prong 240 volt plug (purchase locally)
or order line cord Part No. K-0084.
Some models have a dual voltage
motor, 120 and 240 volt. They are wired
for 120 volt but can be converted to 240
volt operation. Instructions for converting
these motors for operation at 240 volt can
be found printed on the label attached to
the side of the motor.
amp circuit if:
1. Voltage supply to circuit is normal.
2. Circuit is not used to supply any
other electrical needs (lights,
appliances, etc.)
3. Extension cords comply with
specifications in owners manual.
4. Circuit is equipped with 15 amp
circuit breaker or 15 amp time
delay fuse. Use a Fusetron Type
"T" time delay fuse.
NEVER TOUCH ANY EXPOSED METAL
PARTS ON COMPRESSOR DURING OR
IMMEDIATELY AFTER OPERATION.
COMPRESSOR WILL REMAIN HOT FOR
SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER OPERATION.
If any of the above conditions cannot be
met, or if operation of the compressor
repeatedly causes interruption of the
power, it may be necessary to operate it
from a 20 amp circuit. It is not necessary
to change the cord set.
VOLTAGE AND CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Refer to the specification chart for voltage
and circuit protection requirements of
your compressor. Use only a fuse or circuit
breaker that is the same rating as the
branch circuit the air compressor is
operated on. If the compressor is con-
nected to a circuit protected by fuses, use
only dual element time delay fuses.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Certain air compres-
sor models can be
result in electrical shock. In the event
of a short circuit, grounding reduces
risk of shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. Air
compressor must be properly
grounded.
1. Air compressor is equipped with a
cord having a ground wire with an
appropriate grounding plug. Plug
must be used with an outlet that has
been installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Outlet and plug must
have the same configuration. DO
NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
Compressor can be
operated on a 15
2. Do not modify the provided plug. If it
does not fit the available outlet, the
correct outlet should be installed by a
qualified electrician.
3. Inspect plug and cord before each
use. Do not use if there are signs of
damage.
