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.

120/240 Dual Voltage Motor

This model has a dual voltage motor, 120 and 240 volt. It is wired for 120 volt but can be converted to 240 volt operation. Instructions for connecting the motor for operation at 240 volt can be found printed on the label attached to the side of the motor.

When converting to 240V operation, the attached three-prong 120V cord assembly must be replaced with a three-pronged 240V cord assembly (K-0080: 240V/20 Amp Plug) that can be purchased through a Authorized Service Center.

Transporting

When transporting the compressor in a vehicle, trailer, etc., make sure the tank is drained and the unit is secured with straps to prevent tipping. Use care when driving to prevent tipping the unit over in the vehicle. Damage can occur to the compressor or surrounding items if the compressor is tipped.

Lifting

Always use two people when lifting and lift from the recommended lift points. DO NOT lift by wheels or shroud.

Moving

The wheels and handle do not provide adequate clearance, stability, or support for pulling the unit up and down stairs or steps. The unit must be lifted or pushed up a ramp.

1.Grasp handle of compressor and tilt compressor back to rest on wheels.

Risk of Unsafe Operation. Ensure proper footing and use caution when rolling compressor so that unit does not tip or cause loss of balance.

2.When location is reached slowly lower compressor to ground. Always store compressor in a horizontal position.

NOTE: Should the unit tip over, hard starting and smoking will occur due to oil spillage.
