50% of one hour is considered misuse, because the air compressor is undersized for the required air demand. Maximum compressor pumping time per hour is 30 minutes. SPECIFICATIONS Model No. 66-501-1 Horsepower Peak Bore 1.875" Stroke 1.250"...
ASSEMBLY The wheels and handle do not provide adequate clearance, stability or support for pulling the unit up and down stairs or steps. The unit must be lifted, or pushed up a ramp. Submerge handle grip into warm soapy water to make installation Compressor Saddle easier.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. In the event of a short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This air compressor must be properly grounded. The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug (see illustrations).
Voltage and Circuit Protection Refer to the Parts Manual 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. Voltage supply through branch circuit is 15 amps. Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs (lights, appliances, etc.).
OPERATION Know Your Air Compressor READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT.
