Extension
Cords
Use extra air hose instead of an
extension 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:
*
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 Parts Manual for the volt-
age and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
Certain air compressors
can be oper-
ated on a 15 amp circuit if the follow-
ing conditions
are met.
1.
Voltage supply through branch
circuit is 15 amps.
2.
Circuit is not used to supply any
other electrical needs (lights,
appliances,
etc.).
3.
Extension cords comply with
specifications.
4.
Circuit is equipped with a 15
amp circuit breaker or 15 amp
time delay fuse. NOTE: If com-
pressor 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 com-
pressor repeatedly causes interrup-
tion of the power, it may be neces-
sary to operate it from a 20 amp cir-
cuit. It is not necessary to change the
cord set.
