GROUNDING iNSTRUCTiONS
RiSK OF
ELECTRICAL
SHOCK.
in the event of a short
circuit, grounding
reduces
the risk
of shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric
current. This
air compressor
must be properly
grounded.
The portable air compressor is
equipped with a cord having a ground-
ing wire with an appropriate grounding
plug (see following illustrations).
The
plug must be used with an outlet that
has been installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
1.
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.
2.
Make sure the outlet being used
has the same configuration as the
grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN
ADAPTER.
See illustration.

4.
Inspect the plug and cord before
each use. Do not use if there are
signs of damage.
If these grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the compres-
sor is properly grounded, have the
installation checked by a qualified
electrician.
RISK OF
--
ELECTRICAL
SHOCK. IMPROPER GROUNDING
CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL
SHOCK.
Do not modify the plug provided. If
it does not fit the available
outlet, a
correct
outlet should be installed
by
a qualified
electrician.
Repairs to the cord set or plug
MUST be made by a qualified
electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
_Risk
of Property
Damage. The use of an
undersized extension cord will cause
voltage to drop resulting in power loss
to the motor and overheating. Instead
of using an extension cord, increase
the working reach of the air hose by
attaching another length of hose to its
end. Attach additional lengths of hose
as needed.
If an extension cord must be used, be
sure it is:
•
a 3-wire extension cord that has
a 3-blade grounding plug, and a
3-slot receptacle that will accept
the plug on the product
in good condition
no longer than 50' (15 meters)
12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire
size increases as gauge number
decreases.
10 AWG and 8 AWG
may also be used. DO NOT USE
14 OR 16 AWG.)
VOLTAGE
AND CIRCUIT
PROTECTION
Refer to the Specification
Chart for the
voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
_Risk
of Unsafe
--
Operation. Certain air
compressors can be operated on a 15
amp circuit if the following conditions
are met.
1.
Voltage supply to circuit must
comply with the National
Electrical Code.
2.
Circuit is not used to supply any
other electrical needs.
3.
Extension cords comply with
specifications.
