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). The plug must be used with an outlet that has been installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
1.The cord set and plug with this unit contains a grounding pin. This plug MUST be used with a grounded outlet.

IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must be
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
2.Make sure the outlet being used has the same configuration as the grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
When used outside of the United States of America a conversion kit may be required for local use.
3.Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are signs of damage.
4.If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK. 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.
