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 air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounded 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. See illustration. DO NOT USE AN ADAPT-

ER.

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

IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

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

If repairing or replacing 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 under- stood, or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electrician.

Additional Regulators and

Controls

Since the air tank pressure is usually greater than that which is needed, a regulator is employed to control the air pressure ahead of any individual air driven device.

Separate air transformers which combine the function of air regulation, moisture and dirt removal should be used where applicable.

Break-in Procedures

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

This procedure is required:

1.Before the air compressor is put into service.

2.When the check valve is replaced.

a.Set the pressure switch lever to the "OFF" position.

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

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

d.Move the pressure switch lever to "ON/AUTO". The compressor will start.

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

f.After 15 minutes, close the regulator by turning knob counterclockwise. The air receiver will fill to cut-out pressure and the motor will stop. The compressor is now ready for use.
