Extension Cords

Using extension cords is not recommended. The use of extension cords 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

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

•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.)

Voltage and Circuit Protection

Refer to the Parts Manual for the voltage and minimum branch circuit requirements.

Risk of Unsafe Operation. Certain

air compressors can be operated on a 15 amp circuit if the following conditions are met.

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

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

3.Extension cords comply with specifications.

4.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.
