DUTY CYCLE

This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously. However, to prolong the life of your air compressor, it is recommended that a 50%-75% average duty cycle be maintained; that

is, the air compressor pump should not run more than 30-45 minutes in any given hour.

ASSEMBLY

INSTALLATION

HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT

Location of the Air Compressor

Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area.

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.

Place the air compressor on a flat level surface resting on the rub- ber bumpers and wheels

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.
