Extension Cords

If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:

•a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3‑slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product

•in good condition

•no longer than 50 feet (15.2 m)

•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.)

Risk of Property Damage. The use of an undersized extension cord will cause voltage to drop resulting in power loss to the motor and overheating. Instead of using an extension cord, increase the working reach of the air hose by attaching another length of hose to its end. Attach additional lengths of hose as needed.

Voltage and Circuit Protection

Refer to the Voltage and Minimum Branch Circuit Requirements under Pump/Motor Specifications.

Risk of Overheating. Certain air compressors can be operated on a 15 amp cir- cuit if the following conditions are met.

•Voltage supply to circuit must comply with the National Electrical Code.

•Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs.

•Extension cords comply with specifications.

•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. Time delay fuses should be marked “D” in Canada and “T” in the US.

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. It is not necessary to change the cord set.

Compatibility

NOTE: Always use an air line filter to remove moisture and oil vapor when spraying paint.

Location

Place the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air. Keep the compressor away from areas that have dirt and/or volatile fumes in the atmosphere. These impurities may clog the intake filter and valves, causing inefficient operation.

The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling. The ventilation openings on the compressor are necessary to maintain proper operating temperature. Do not place rags or other containers on or near these openings.

Place the air compressor on a flat surface resting on the rubber feet and wheels.

ELECTRICAL

Refer to all safety instructions before using unit. Observe extension cord safety instructions if necessary. Always move the On/Off switch (A) to the OFF position before removing the plug from the outlet.

Transporting (fig. 3)

When transporting the compressor in a vehi- cle, trailer, etc., make sure the tank is drained and the unit is secured with straps to prevent tipping. Use care when driving to prevent tipping the unit over in the vehicle. Damage can occur to the compressor or surrounding items if the compres- sor is tipped.

Lifting

Always use two people when lifting and lift from the recommended lift points (N). DO NOT lift by wheels or shroud.

The handle provided on a unit with wheels is only intended for the purpose of pushing or pulling the
