INSTALLATION

HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT

Location of the Air Compressor

Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area.

The air compressor should be located at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air.

The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling. The ventilation openings on the compressor are necessary to maintain proper operating temperature. Do not place rags or other containers on or near these openings.

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 portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug (see following illustrations).

1.The cord set and plug with this unit contains a grounding pin. This plug MUST be used with a grounded outlet.

IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must be installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

2. Make sure the outlet being used has the same configuration as the grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER. See illustration.

3.Inspect the plug and cord before each

use. Do not use if there are signs of damage.

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.

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

a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product

in good condition

no longer than 50' (15.2 m)

12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 14 OR 16 AWG.)
