Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, a correct outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician.
Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified electrician.
Extension Cords
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
•a
•in good condition
•no longer than 50 feet (15.2 m)
•12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE
14 OR 16 AWG.)
The use of an
undersized extension
cord will cause voltage to drop resulting in power loss to the motor and overheating. Instead of using an extension cord, increase the working reach of the air hose by attaching another length of hose to its end. Attach additional lengths of hose as needed. Always use an air hose rated 300 psi or greater.
Voltage and Circuit
Protection
Refer to the specification chart 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.
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 compres- sor 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.
Transporting When transporting the compressor in
a vehicle, trailer, etc., make sure
the tank is drained and the unit is secured with straps to prevent tipping. Use care when driving to prevent tipping the
unit over in the vehicle. Damage can occur to the compressor or surrounding items if the compressor is tipped.
Lifting
Always use two people when lift- ing and lift from the recommended lift points. DO NOT lift by wheels or shroud.
Moving
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.
1.Grasp handle of compressor and tilt compressor back to rest on wheels.
Risk of Unsafe
Operation. Ensure
proper footing and use caution when rolling compressor so that unit does not tip or cause loss of balance.
2.When location is reached slowly lower compressor to ground.
Always store compressor in a vertical position resting on the rubber bumpers and wheels.
