Location of the Air Compressor
Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well venti-
lated area. The air filter must be kept clear of obstruc-
tions which could reduce air delivery of the air compres-
sor. The air compressor should be located at least 12"
away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere
with the flow of fresh intake and cooling air.

Lubrication and Oil

This unit needs no lubrication or oiling.

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.
This portable air compressor is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding
plug. The plug must be used with an outlet that has
been installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. The outlet must have the same
configuration as the plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if
there are signs of damage.
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Do not modify the plug that has been provided. If it
does not fit the available outlet, the correct outlet
should be installed by a qualified technician.
If repairing or replacing cord or plug, the grounding wire
must be kept separate from the current-carrying wires.
Never connect the grounding wire to a flat blade plug
terminal. The grounding wire has insulation with an outer
surface that is green with or without yellow stripes.
If these grounding instructions are not completely under-
stood, or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is
properly grounded, have the installation checked by a
qualified electrician.

BREAK-IN PROCEDURES

Voltage and Circuit Protection

Refer to page 5 (Specification Chart) for the voltage and
circuit protection requirements of your compressor. Use
only a fuse or circuit breaker that is the same rating as
the branch circuit the air compressor is operated on. If
the compressor is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use only dual element time delay fuses.
Refer to Parts List Manual for your compressor. Certain
air compressor models can be operated on a 15 amp
circuit if:
1. Voltage supply to circuit is normal.
2. Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs
3. Extension cords comply with a 15 amp circuit breaker
4. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or
If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if opera-
tion of the compressor repeatedly causes interruption of
power, it may be necessary to operate it from a 20 amp
circuit. It is not necessary to change the cord set.
Extension Cords
It is preferable to use extra air hose instead of an exten-
sion cord to avoid voltage drop and power loss to the
motor, and to prevent overheating.
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
• 12 gauge (AWG) or heavier. (Wire size increases as
• a three-wire extension cord that has a three-connec
• no longer than 50 feet
• in good condition
