5. Place the (4) washers (supplied)
between the floor and air
compressor feet. If needed, solid
shims may be placed between
the washers and floor to evenly
distribute weight on all four feet.
See next figure.
6. Place the (4) 3/8" lag screws
through the air compressor feet,
washers, shims, and into the
anchors.
7. Torque 3/8" lag screws to 7-10
ft.-lbs.

Wiring Instructions

SHOCK. Improper electrical
grounding can result in electrical
shock. The wiring should be done
by a qualified electrician
A qualified electrician needs to knows
the following before wiring:
1. The amperage rating of
the electrical box should
be adequate. Refer to the
Specification Chart, 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
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Electrical wiring must be located
away from hot surfaces such as
manifold assembly, compressor
outlet tubes, heads, or cylinders.
RISK OF
ELECTRICAL
and overheating to
the motor.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product should be connected to
a metallic, permanent wiring system,
of an equipment-grounding terminal
or lead on the product.

Voltage and Circuit Protection

Refer to the specification chart for the
voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
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.
4. 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 necessary to
change the cord set.

Air Distribution System

or PVC pipe 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.
