Grounding Instructions - Craftsman 919.165190 Owner's Manual

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" 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 ventila-
tion openings on the compressor are
necessary to maintain proper operat-
ing temperature. Do not place rags or
other containers on or near these
openings,The air filter must be kept
clear of obstructions which could
reduce air flow to the air compressor.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
RISK OF ELECTRI-
CAL SHOCK. In
the event of a short circuit, ground-
ing reduces the risk of shook by
providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This air compres-
sor must be properly grounded.
The portable air compressor is
equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug (see following illustra-
tions). The plug must be used with
an outlet that has been installed and
grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
.
The cord set and plug with this
unit contains a grounding pin.
This plug MUST be used with a
grounded outlet.
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used
must be installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
.
Make sure the outlet being used
has the same configuration as
the grounded plug. DO NOT
USE AN ADAPTER. See illustra-
tion.
