HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT
Location of the Air Compressor
1.Locate the air compressor in a
clean, dry and well ventilated area.
2.The air compressor should be located at least 12" (30.5 cm)
away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air.
3.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.
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.
The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug (see following illustrations).
1.The cord set and plug with this unit contains a grounding pin. This plug MUST be used with a grounded outlet.
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must be installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
2.Make sure the outlet being used
has the same configuration as the grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER. See illustration.

3.Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are
signs of damage.
4.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.
RISK OF
ELECTRICAL
SHOCK. IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL
SHOCK.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, a correct outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician.
Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified elec- trician.
Extension Cords
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
1.
2.in good condition
3.no longer than 50 feet
4.14 gauge (AVVG)or larger.(Wiresize increasesas gauge number decreas- es. 12 AWG and 10 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 16 OR 18 AWG.)
_Riskof 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 specification chart for the voltage and minimum branch circuit requirements.
