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.
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. The air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be used with an outlet that has been installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. The outlet must have the same
configuration as the plug. See Fig. 3. DO NOT USE
AN ADAPTER.
Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are signs of damage.
Improper grounding can result in electrical shock!
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.
If repairing or replacing cord or plug, the grounding wire must be kept separate from the

Additional Regulators and Controls
Since the air tank pressure is usually greater than that which is needed, a separate regulator is usually employed to control the air pressure ahead of any individual air driven device.
