GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

RISK OR 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. 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. DO NOT USE AN

ADAPTER TO DEFEAT THE GROUNDING FEATURE OF THE PLUG.

Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are signs of damage.

If repairing cord or plug, the grounding wire must be kept separate from the current-carrying wires. Never connect the grounding wire to a flat blade plug terminal. The grounding wire has insulation with an outer surface that is green - with or without yellow stripes.

If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the compres- sor is properly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electrician.

Break-in Procedure

Serious damage may result if the following break-in instructions are not closely followed.

This procedure is required only once, before the air compressor is put into service.

1.Set the pressure switch OFF/AUTO lever in the "OFF" position.

2.Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.

3.Turn the regulator clockwise, opening it fully, to prevent air pressure build-up in the tank.

4.Move the OFF/AUTO lever to "AUTO". The compressor will start.

5.Run the compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure the regulator is open and there is no tank pres- sure build-up.

6.After 15 minutes, close the regulator by turning it counterclockwise. The air tank will fill to cut-out pressure and then the motor will stop.

Refer to "Operating Procedures".

IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

Do not modify the plug that has been pro- vided. If it does not fit the available outlet, the correct outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician.
