Wiring Instructions
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. The 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. The supply line should have the
same electrical characteristics
(voltage, cycle, phase) as the
motor. Refer to the motor
nameplate, on side of motor, for
this information.
NOTE: The wiring 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 overheating to the motor.
wiring must be located away from
hot surfaces such as manifold
assembly, compressor outlet tubes,
heads, or cylinders.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This 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
is not designed for use with
compressed air. Regardless of its
indicated pressure rating, plastic
pipe can burst from 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 compressor's air distribution
system.
• Use pipe that is the same size as
the air tank outlet. Piping 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
purchsase 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.
