Wiring Instructions
Improper electrical installation of this product may void its warranty and your fire insurance. Have circuit
wiring performed by qualified personnel such as a licensed electri- cians who is familiar with the current national electrical code and any prevailing local electrical codes.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Improper electrical grounding can result in electrical shock. The wiring
should be done by a qualified electrician
A qualified electrician needs to knows the following before wiring:
1.The amperage rating of the electrical box should be adequate. Refer to the Specification Chart, in the parts manual, for this information.
2.The supply line should have the same electrical characteristics (voltage, cycle, phase) as the motor. Refer to the motor nameplate, on side of motor, for this information.
NOTE: The wiring must be the same as the motor nameplate voltage plus or minus 10%. Refer to local codes for recommended wire sizes, correct wire size, and maxi- mum wire run; undersize wire causes high amp draw and overheating to the motor.
Electrical wiring must be located away from hot sur- faces such as manifold assembly, compressor outlet
tubes, heads, or cylinders.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product should be connected to a metallic, permanent wiring system, of an
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the Parts Manual for the voltage and minimum branch circuit requirements.
Certain air compressors can be operated on a 15 amp circuit if the following condi- tions are met.
1.Voltage supply through branch circuit is 15 amps.
2.Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs (lights, appliances, etc.).
3.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 marked “D”.
If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the compressor repeatedly causes interruption of the power, it may be necessary to operate it from a 20 amp circuit.
