dedicated circuit. If the use of an extension cord is unavoidable then make
sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the

compressor should always be level for proper lubrication. Do not ever
tighten foot bolts as excessive vibration may occur. Use only in a clean,
dry, and well-ventilated area. The compressor has heat dissipation fins for
proper cooling. Keep the fins and other parts that collect dust clean. Do
not place rags or other materials on top of the compressor, as this
obstructs cooling and can be a fire hazard.

PLEASE CHECK THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY:
1) Check to see that nuts and bolts are all snug.
2) Check if the quantity and quality of oil is correct.
3) If the intake filters are dirty, they should be replaced or cleaned.
