FP2205 Series

Installation (Cont.)

It is extremely important to install the compressor in a clean, well ventilated area where the surrounding air temperature will not be more than 100°F.

A minimum clearance of 18 inches between the compressor and a wall is required because objects could obstruct air flow.

Do not locate the

! CAUTION compressor air inlet near steam, paint spray, sandblast areas or any other source of contamination. This debris will damage the motor.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

All wiring and

! WARNING electrical connections should be performed by a qualified electrician. Installation must be in accordance with local codes and national electrical codes.

! CAUTION
Never use an extension		STOP!
cord with this product. Use
additional air hose instead
of an extension cord to

avoid power loss and permanent motor damage.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

1.This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig. 3. Make sure the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. Plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

!DANGER

Improper use of grounding plug can re- sult in a possible risk of electrical shock!

		Do not use a
	! DANGER
		grounding adapter
	with this product!

2.If repair or replacement of cord or plug is necessary, do not connect grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an external surface that is green (with or without yellow stripes) is the grounding wire.

! WARNING	Never connect
	green (or green and

yellow) wire to a live terminal.

3.Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether product is properly grounded. Do not modify plug provided; if it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

WIRING

1.Local electrical wiring codes differ from area to area. Source wiring, plug and protector must be rated for at least the amperage and voltage indicated on motor nameplate, and meet all electrical codes for this minimum.

2.Use a slow blow fuse or a circuit breaker.

	Overheating, short
! CAUTION	circuiting and fire

damage will result from inadequate wiring, etc.

NOTE: 120 volt, 15 amp units can be operated on a 120 volt circuit under the following conditions:

a. No other electrical appliances or lights are connected to the same branch circuit.

b. Voltage supply is normal.

c. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or a 15 amp slow blow fuse.

3.If these conditions cannot be met or if nuisance tripping of current protection device occurs, it may be necessary to operate compressor from a 120 volt, 20 amp circuit.

Operation

Pressure Switch - Auto/Off Switch - In the ON position, the compressor shuts off automatically when tank pressure reaches the maximum preset pressure. The compressor will automatically restart when it reaches the minimum preset pressure. In the OFF position, the compressor will not operate. This switch should be in the OFF position when connecting or disconnecting the power cord from the electrical outlet or when changing air tools.

Regulator - The regulator controls the amount of air pressure released at the hose outlet.

ASME Safety Valve - This valve automatically releases air if the tank pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
