Grounding _nstructions

iMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT tN

ELECTRICAL SHOCK= IN THE EVENT OF A

SHORT CIRCUIT, GROUNDING REDUCES THE RiSK OF SHOCK BY PROViDiNG AN ESCAPE WiRE FOR THE ELECTRIC CUR-

RENT, THIS A_R COMPRESSOR MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

1.The air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire and an appropriate grounding plug= The plug must be used with an outlet that has been

installed and grounded in accordance with alt local codes and ordinances. The outlet must have the

same configuration as the plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.

2.Do not modify the plug that has been provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, the correct outlet

should be installed by a qualified electrician.

3.Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use the compressor if there are signs of damage.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. WHEN REPAmRING OR REPLACING THE CORD OR

PLUG, KEEP THE GROUNDING W_RE SEPA- RATE FROM THE CURRENToCARRYmNG

W_RES. NEVER CONNECT THE GROUND- gNG W_RE TO A FLAT BLADE PLUG TER=

MINAL, (THE GROUNDING W_RE HAS INSULATION WITH AN OUTER SURFACE THAT IS GREEN - WSTH OR W_THOUT YEL- LOW STRIPES.)

If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are not sure your compressor is property grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electrician.

Breakqn Procedures

Serious damage may result if the following

break=in instructions are Rot closely followed.

This procedure is required only once, before the air com- pressor is put into service.

1.Set the pressure switch lever to the "OFF" position. 2, Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit

receptacle.

3.l_drnthe regulator clockwise opening it fully, to prevent air pressure build-up inthe tank.

4.Move the pressure switch lever to "ON/AUTO". The compressor witl start.

5.Run the compressor for 30 minutes. Make sure the regulator is open and there is no tank pressure build-

up.

6.After 30 minutes, close the regulator by turning it counter-clockwise. The air receiver wilt filt to cut-out

pressure and the motor wilt stop. The compressor is now ready for use.

OPERATING PROCEDURES

1.Before attaching an air hose or accessory', make sure the pressure switch lever is in the "OFF" posi-

tion. Close the air regulator outlet by turning it counter-clockwise.

5.Open the regulator by turning it clockwise. Adjust the regulator to the correct pressure setting. (See pg. 6

for regulator instructions.) Your outfit is ready for use.

When You Are F_nished:

6.Set the pressure switch lever to "OFF".

7.qFdrnthe regulator counter-clockwise and set the out- let pressure to zero.

8.Remove the air tool or accessory.

9.Open the regulator and allow the air to sowly bleed from the tank. C_ose the regulator when tank pres _

sure is approximately 20 psi.

10. Drain water from air tank.
