Extension
Cords
Using extension cords is not
recommended.
The use of extension
cords wiII 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
e
o
e
in good condition
no longer than 50 feet
14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire
size increases as gauge number
decreases.
12 AWG and 10 AVVG
may also be used. DO NOT USE
16 OR 18 AWG.)
Voltage
and Circuit
Protection
Refer to the specification
chart for the
voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
_Risk
of Opertion,
Certain air
compressors
can be operated
on
a 15 amp circuit
if the following
conditions
are met.
1.
Voltage suppIy to circuit must
comply with the National
Electrical Code.
2.
Circuit is not used to supply any
other electdca! needs.
3.
Extension cords compiy with
specifications.
4.
Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp
circuit breaker or 15 amp time
deIay 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 necessary to change
the cord set.
