INSTALLATION
HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT
Location of the Air Compressor
●Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry, and well ventilated area.
●The air compressor should be located at least 12" away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air.
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. See illustration.
3.Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are signs of damage.
●The air filter and flywheel must be kept clear of obstructions which could reduce air flow to the air compressor.
●The air compressor requires fresh air flow for proper cooling. DO
NOT ALLOW THE COMPRESSOR TO GET WET.
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 following illustrations).

Grounding Pin
1.The cord set and plug with this unit contains a grounding pin. This plug MUST be used with a grounded outlet.
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.
Extension Cords
Use extra air hose instead of an extension cord to avoid voltage drop and power loss to the motor, and to prevent overheating.
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
•a
•in good condition
•no longer than 50 feet
•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.)
