• The air filter must be kept clear of obstructions which could
reduce air flow to the air compressor.
HUMID AREAS
In frequently humid areas, moisture may form in the pump and
produce sludge in the oil, causing running parts to wear out
prematurely. Excessive moisture is especially likely to occur if
the unit is located in an unheated area that is subject to large
temperature changes. Two signs of excessive humidity are external
condensation on the pump when it cools down and a "milky"
appearance in compressor oil. You may be able to prevent
moisture from forming in the pump by increasing ventilation or
operating for longer intervals.

Wiring Instructions

WARNING: Improper electrical installation of this product
may void its warranty and your fire insurance. Have circuit wiring
performed by qualified personnel such as a licensed electrician who
is familiar with the current national electrical code and any prevailing
local electrical codes.
Risk of electrical shock. Improper electrical
WARNING:
grounding can result in electrical shock. The wiring should be done
by a qualified electrician.
A qualified electrician needs to knows the following before wiring:
1. The amperage rating of the electrical box should be adequate.
Refer to the Specifications, in the parts 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 used must be rated for 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.
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. Electrical wiring must
be located away from hot surfaces such as manifold assembly,
compressor outlet tubes, heads, or cylinders.

Grounding Instructions

WARNING: 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.
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).
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must be installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
2. Ensure the outlet being used has the same configuration as the
grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
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.
DANGER: Risk of electrical shock. IMPROPER GROUNDING
CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
