Operating Guidelines cont.

Extension Cords

Use only 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. Make sure that your extension
cord is in good condition. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in a loss of power
and overheating. Figure B contains a table showing
the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use a heavier
gauge. Note that the smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
Cord Care
Do not operate unit with damaged cord or plug. Do not
pull or carry by cord, or use the cord as a handle. Do
not close door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edged
corners. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. Do not
unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug,
not the cord. When not in use, bundle the cord to avoid
damage or accident.
Product Storage
Do not leave unit plugged in when not in use. When
not in use, store unit in a dry area. Avoid storing in
temperatures below freezing. If unit is left in freezing or
below freezing temperatures, allow it to warm to room
temperature before use.
Operating the unit while cold will cause damage. A unit
stored in freezing or below freezing temperatures can
take one hour or longer to reach room temperature.
Before First Use
The following tips can help to ensure proper operation,
avoid damage to the system, prevent personal injury,
and extend equipment life.
• Read and follow all safety instructions.
• Always use the proper, grounded extension cord of
appropriate length and gauge. Failure to do so voids
all warranties and will greatly shorten the life of the
turbine motor.
• Always fully release all pressure before opening,
cleaning, or servicing any part of this system.
• Always spray at the lowest possible pressure to
correctly atomize your coating. Over-pressurizing
wastes material, increases overspray and works the
unit harder than necessary.
