Installation & Assembly
Getting Started -
Location of the Air Compressor
The air compressor should always be located
in a clean, dry and well ventilated environment.
The unit should have at minimum, 12 inches of
space on each side. The air filter intake should
be free of any debris or obstructions. Check the
air filter on a daily basis to make sure it is clean
and in working order.
Grounding Instructions
This product should be grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current. This product is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with an ap-
propriate grounding plug. (See the figure below.)
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances. Check with
a qualified electrician or service personnel if
these instructions are not completely understood
or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
Make sure that the product is connected to an
outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
No adapter should be used with this product. If
the product must be reconnected for use on a
different type of electric circuit, qualified service
personnel should make the reconnection.
Extension Cords
Use only 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. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. Cords must not exceed 25
feet and No. 12 AWG size must be used. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Break In Procedures
No break in procedure is required by the user.
This product is factory tested to ensure proper
operation and performance.

Grounding Pin
Grounded
Outlet
Improper installation of the grounding plug will
result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or
replacement of the cord or plug is necessary,
do not connect the grounding wire to either flat
blade terminal. The wire with insulation having
an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the grounding wire. Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman if
the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have the
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a circuit having a
nominal rating of 120 volts and is factory-
equipped with a specific electric cord and plug
to permit connection to a proper electric circuit.
