GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS (FIGURE 1)

WARNING

Improper use of the grounding plug can re- sult in a risk of electric shock.

NOTE: This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the elec- trical current. This product is equipped with a cord hav- ing a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

NOTE: If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow strips is the grounding wire.

NOTE: This product is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustra- tion in SKETCH A of FIGURE 1. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in SKETCHES B and C, may be used to connect this plug to 2-pole recep- tacle as shown in SKETCH B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (SKETCH A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green col- ored rigid ear, lug and the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by the screw.

NOTE: Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely under- stood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.

ELECTRICAL

Compressor

If the overload protector shuts off the motor frequently, you may have a low voltage situation. Low voltage can also be suspected when:

1.The motor does not get up to full power or speed.

2.Fuses or circuit breakers activate when starting com- pressor.

3.Lights dim or remain dim when compressor is started.

4.Other motor operated appliances fail to operate prop- erly. Too many motor operated appliances on same circuit.

NOTE: The motor of this compressor has a thermal over- load protector. If the motor should overheat, the over- load protector will shut off the motor. If this should occur, turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position and allow the motor to cool (approximately 5 minutes). Restart com- pressor. If the compressor fails to start, wait an additional 5 minutes before attempting to restart. If this fails, check for a blown fuse on the household electric circuits. If the unit still does not restart, the motor must be replaced. Call your dealer immediately.

Extension Cords

NOTE: Make certain extension cord is in good condition and is NOT LESS than 18 gauge for 25 feet, 16 gauge for 50 feet and 14 gauge for 100 feet.

OPERATION (FIGURE 2)

DO NOT use the compressor for continuous op- eration more than 10 hours, this can result in over- heating and damage to the compressor.

1.Familiarize yourself with this unit.

2.Place unit on table and push down hard so that suc- tion feet hold unit firmly in place.

3.Check to see that the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position. Plug power cord into electrical outlet.

NOTE: Before attempting to start a cold unit, let the unit reach room temperature in a heated area, then press the ON/OFF switch to start the unit.
