Wiring
Instructions
_Risk
of elec_ical
shock. Improper
electrical grounding can result in
electrical shock.
The wiring should
be done by a qualified electrician
to comply with national and local
electrical codes.
A qualified electrician needs to knows
the following before wiring:
1.
Tr_e amperage rating of the
electrical box should be
adequate, Refer to the product
specifications,
found in the front
of this manual, for this
information.
2.
Tr_esupply line should have the
same electrical charac'tedsfice
(voltage, cycle, phase) as the
motor. Refer to the motor
nameplate, on side of motor, for
this information,
NOTE: Tr_ewiring must be the same
as the motor nameplate voltage plus
or minus 10%. Refer to local codes
for recommended
wire sizes, correct
wire size, and maximum wire run;
undersize wire causes high amp draw
and overheafing to the moto_
Risk of electrical
shock. Electrical
wiring must be located away _om
hot surfaces such as manifold
assembly, compressor outlet tubes,
heads, or cylinders.
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
Trois product should be connected to
a metallic, permanent wiring system,
or an equipment-grounding
terminal
or lead on the product and comply
with national and local electrical
codes.
Refer to the product specification
found in the front of this manual for
the voltage and minimum branch
circuit requirements,
Air Distribution
System
Risk of Bursting.
Plastic or PVC pipe
is not designed for use with
compressed
air. Regardless of its
indicated pressure
rating, plastic
pipe can burst _om air pressure.
Use only metal pipe for air
distribution lines.
The next figure represents a typical
air distribution system, The following
are tips to remember when setting up
the air eompressor's
air distribution
system.
Use pipe that is the same size as
the air tank outlet, l=iping that is
too small will restrict the flow of
air.
•
If piping is over 100 feet long,
use the next larger size,
Bury underground
lines below
the frost line and avoid pockets
where condensation
can gather
and freeze. Fill lines with air
pressure before covering to
make sure pipe joints are free
from leaks.
Install a flexible coupling
between the air discharge outlet
and main air distribution
line to
allow for vibration.
NOTE: The shut-off valve is not
supplied with this unit, You must
purehsase the shut-off valve
separately.
A separate regulator is
recommended
to control the air
pressure. Air pressure from the
air tank is usually too high for
individual air driven tools,
