Extension
Cords
Using extension
cords is not
recommended.
The use of extension
cords will cause voltage to drop
resulting in power
loss to the motor
and overheating.
Instead of using extension
cords
attach extra air hoses to each other
starting
at the air outlet.
Jf an extension
cord
must be used,
be sure it is:
Q
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 feet
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 table for the
voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
Certain air compressors
can be
operated
on a 15 amp circuit if the
following
conditions
are met.
1.
Voltage
supply
through branch
circuit is 15 amps.
.
.
4.
Circuit
is not used to supply
any
other electrical needs (lights,
appliances,
etc.).
Extension cords comply
with
specifications.
Circuit
is equipped with a 15
amp circuit
breaker or 15 amp
time delay fuse. NOTE:
If
compressor
is connected
to a
circuit protected
by fuses, use
only time delay fuses.
Time delay
fuses should
be marked "D" in
Canada
and "T" in the US.
If any of the above conditions
cannot
be met, or if operation of the
compressor
repeatedly
causes
interruption
of the power, it may be
necessary
to operate
it from a 20
amp circuit. It is not neoessary
to
change
the cord set.
