Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to page 5 (Specification
Chart)
for the 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 connected
to a circuit protected
by fuses,
use only dual element
time delay fuses.
Extension Cords
It is preferable
to use extra air hose instead of an exten-
sion cord to avoid voltage drop and power loss to the
motor, and to prevent overheating.
If an extension
cord must be used, be sure it is:
12 gauge (AWG) or heavier.
(Wire size increases as
gauge number decreases.
10 AWG and 8 AWG may
also be used.
DO NOT USE 14 OR 16 AWG.)
a three-wire
extension
cord that has a three-connec-
tor grounding
plug, and a three-slot
receptacle
that
wi!l accept the plug.
n,: longer than 50 feet
rr] good condition
Break-in
Procedure
Serious damage
may result if the following
break-in
instructions
are not closely followed.
This procedure
is required only once, before the air com-
pressor is put into service.
1. Set the pressure switch "AUTO/O"
lever in the "O"
position for "Off".
2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit
receptacle.
3. Do not attach hose to outlet. Leave the outlet open to
the atmosphere.
4. Turn the regulator
clockwise,
opening it fully, to
prevent air pressure build-up
in the tank.
5. Move the "AUTO/C)" tever to AUTO".
The com-
pressor will start,
6. RUN THE COMPRESSOR
FOR 15 MINUTES.
Make
sure the regulator is open and there is no tank pros-
sure build up.
7. After 15 minutes, close the regulator
by turning _t
counterclockwise.
The air tank will fill to cut out
pressure and then the motor will stop.
