Installation

LOCATION
When assembled, the tank must sit
level or slope slightly towards the drain
cock to allow the tank to drain
properly.
It is extremely important to install the
compressor in a clean, well ventilated area
where the surrounding air temperature
will not be more than 100°F.
A minimum clearance of 18 inches
between the compressor and a wall is
required because objects could obstruct
air flow.
Do not locate the

inlet near steam, paint spray, sandblast
areas or any other source of
contamination. This debris will damage
the motor.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
All wiring and
WARNING
!
electrical
connections should be performed by a
qualified electrician. Installation must be
in accordance with local codes and
national electrical codes.
CAUTION
!
Never use an extension
cord with this product. Use
additional air hose instead
of an extension cord to avoid power loss
and permanent motor damage. Use of an
extension cord voids the warranty.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. This product is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated
in Fig. 3. Make sure the product is
connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. This
product must be grounded. In the
event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces risk of electrical
shock by providing an escape wire for
electric current. This product is
equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug. Plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.

2. If repair or replacement of cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect grounding
wire to either flat blade terminal. The

3. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether product is
properly grounded. Do not modify
plug provided; if it will not fit outlet,
have proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.

NOTE: 120 volt, 15 amp units can be
operated on a 120 volt circuit under the
following conditions:
a. No other electrical appliances or lights
are connected to the same branch
circuit.
b. Voltage supply is normal.
c. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp
circuit breaker or a 15 amp slow blow
fuse.
3. If these conditions cannot be met or if
nuisance tripping of current
protection device occurs, it may be
necessary to operate compressor from
a 120 volt, 20 amp circuit.
