2. Apply sealant tape to hose threads.
3. Assemble hose to air outlet (G). IMPORTANT: Do not assemble
splitters directly to the air outlet (G).
NOTE: Assembling quick connect bodies to air outlet (G) and quick
connect plugs to hose ends make connecting and disconnecting
hoses simple and easy. Quick connect bodies and plugs are
available for purchase from your local dealer or authorized service
center.
DISCONNECTING HOSES
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
2. Remove hose(s) from air outlet(s) (G).
Lubrication and Oil

AIR COMPRESSOR

The air compressor pump was filled WITH oil at the manufacturer.
Check air compressor pump oil level before operating unit. See
Compressor Pump Oil under Maintenance.

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 (L) with this unit
contains a grounding pin (M). This plug
MUST be used with a grounded outlet
(N).
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.
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 elec-
trician.

Extension Cords

Using extension cords is not recommended. The use of extension
cords will cause voltage 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.
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
• 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
L
• no longer than 50 feet (15,2 m)
N
• 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge num-
ber decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT
USE 14 OR 16 AWG.)
