5.Place the (4) washers (supplied) between the floor and air compressor feet. If needed, solid shims may be placed between the washers and floor to evenly distribute weight on all four feet. See next figure.

6.Place the (4) 3/8" lag screws through the air compressor feet, washers, shims, and into the anchors.

7.Torque 3/8" lag screws to 7-10 ft.-lbs.

Wiring Instructions

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product should be connected to a metallic, permanent wiring system, of an equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the product and comply with national and local electrical codes.

Refer to the product specification found in the front of this manual for the voltage and minimum branch circuit requirements.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Improper electrical grounding can result in electrical shock. The wiring

should be done by a qualified electrician to comply with national and local electrical codes.

A qualified electrician needs to knows the following before wiring:

1.The amperage rating of the electrical box should be adequate. Refer to the product specifications, found in the front of this manual, for this information.

2.The supply line should have the same electrical characteristics (voltage, cycle, phase) as the motor. Refer to the motor nameplate, on side of motor, for this information.

NOTE: The wiring must be the same as the motor nameplate voltage plus or minus 10%. Refer to local codes for recommended wire sizes, correct wire size, and maximum wire run; undersize wire causes high amp draw and overheating to the motor.

3.The wiring diagram for the magnetic starter box (if equipped) can be found inside the magnetic starter box cover.

Electrical wiring must be located away from hot surfaces such as manifold assembly, compressor outlet tubes,

heads, or cylinders.

Air Distribution System

Plastic or PVC pipe is not designed for use with compressed air. Regardless of its indicated pressure

rating, plastic pipe can burst from air pressure. Use only metal pipe for air distribution lines.

The next figure represents a typical air distribution system. The following are tips to remember when setting up the air compressor’s air distribution system.
