DUTY CYCLE (NOT SHOWN)
This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously. However, to prolong the life of your air compressor, it is recommended that a 50% average duty cycle be maintained; that is, the air compressor pump should not run more than 5 minutes in any 10 minute period.
INSTALLATION
Grounding Instructions (Fig. 2)
WARNING: 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 (J).
4.If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electrician.
DANGER: 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 electrician.
Extension Cords
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
•a
•in good condition
•no longer than 50' (15.2 m)
•14 gauge (AWG) or larger. [Wire size increases as gauge number decreases. 12 AWG and 10 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 16 OR 18 AWG.)]
1.The cord set and plug (J) with this unit contains a grounding pin (L). This plug MUST be used with a grounded outlet (K).
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must be installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

NOTICE: 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
2.Ensure the outlet being used has the same configuration as the grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
3.Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are signs of damage.
