WARNING: Improper installation of
the grounding plug may result in a risk of
electric shock. When repair or replacement
of the cord or plug is required, 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 stripes is the grounding
wire.
Substitution of the word "DANGER" for "WARNING" is not prohibited
when the risk associated with the product is such that a situation
exists which if not avoided will result in death or serious injury.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman when the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or when in doubt as to
whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided; if it does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug.
1. The cord set and plug (O) with this unit contains a grounding
pin (P). This plug MUST be used with a grounded outlet (Q).
This product is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and has a
grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in figure. Only connect
the product to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
Do not use an adapter with this product.
Extension Cords
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
• A 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and
O
a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product
• In good condition and your extension cord is not damaged.
Q
• Plug is not worn
• No longer than 50 feet (15.2 m)
• 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number
P
decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT
USE 14 OR 16 AWG.)
NOTICE: The use of an undersized extension cord will cause volt-
age 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. Always use a minimum 3/8"
(9.5 mm) or greater air hose rated at 300 PSI.
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the Voltage and Minimum Branch Circuit Requirements
under Pump/Motor Specifications.
CAUTION: Certain air compressors can be operated on a
15 amp circuit if the following conditions are met.
• Voltage supply to circuit must comply with the National
Electrical Code.
• Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs.
• Extension cords comply with specifications.
• Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp
time delay fuse. NOTE: If compressor is connected to a cir-
cuit protected by fuses, use only time delay fuses. Time delay
fuses should be marked "D" in Canada and "T" in the U.S.
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.
