licensed electrician.
Use a dedicated circuit
For best performance and reliable starting, the air
compressor must be plugged into a dedicated circuit, as
close as possiMe to the fusebox or circuit breaker. The
compressor wiiI use the full capacity of a typical 15 amp
household circuit. If any other electrical devices are drawing
from the compressor's circuit, the compressor may fail to start.
Low voltage or an overloaded circuit can result in sluggish
starting that causes the motor overload protection system or
circuit breaker to trip, especially in cold conditions.
NOTE: A circuit breaker is recommended. If the air
compressor is connected to a circuit protected by a fuse, use
dual element time delay fuses (Buss Fusetron type "T" only).
EXTENSION CORDS ]
NOTE: Avoid use of extension cords.
For optimum performance, plug the compressor power
cord directly into a grounded wal! socket. Do not use an
extension cord unless absolutely necessary'. Instead, use a
longer air hose to reach the area where the air is needed.
If use of an extension cord cannot be avoided, the cord
should be no longer than 100 feet and be a minimum wire size
of 12 gauge (AWG). Do not use a 16 or 14 gauge extension
cord.
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug, and a 3-s!ot receptacle that will accept the plug
on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS ]
This product should be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding
wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly insta!led and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinance.
• IL _ Improper installation of the grounding
plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or
replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the grounding wire to either flat blade
termina!. The wire insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
grounding wire.
This product is for use on a nominal 115 volt circuit. A cord
with a grounding plug, as shown here, shall be used.
Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug (see Figure 1). No
adapter should be used with this product.
CABLAGE ¢:LECTIQUE
Pour vous renseigner sur les normes d'intensite et de
tension de Fapparei!, r6f6rez-vous a 1'6tiquette du numero de
serie du compresseur d'air.
UtiHsez un circuit s_par_
Pour obtenir te meiHeur rendement possible et une
raise en marche fiable, le compresseur d'air doit _tre
instaH_ sur un circuit separ_, aussi pros que possiMe
d'une bofte a fusibles ou d'un disjoncteur. Le compresseur
utilise toute la capacit6 d'un circuit a usage domestique typique.
Si d'autres appareils 61ectriques tirent du courant sur le circuit
du compresseur, i! est possible que le compresseur ne puisse
pas d6marrer. Si la tension est insuffisante ou si le circuit est
surcharg6, le d6marrage risque d'Stre lent et d'entratner en
cons6quence le d6denchement du disjoncteur ou de
I'interrupteur de remise en marche du moteur, surtout s'il fait
froid.
REMARQUE : II est recommand6 d'utiliser un disjoncteur.
Si le compresseur est branch6 sur un circuit prot6g6 par un
fusible, utilisez des fusibles temporis6s a double el6ment (Buss
Fusetron de type <<T>> seulement).
RALLONGES ]
REMARQUE : Evitez d'utiliser des rallonges.
Pour obtenir un rendement optimum, branchez le c_ble
d'alimentation du compresseur directement sur une prise de
courant mise a la terre. N'utilisez pas de rallonge sauf
n6cessit6 absolue. Utilisez plut6t un tuyau flexible plus long
pour atteindre la zone o_ I'air est n6cessaire.
S'il I'utilisation d'une ral!onge est inevitable, le cordon
61ectrique ne doit pas d6passer 30 m (100 pi) et doit 6tre d'un
calibre minimum de 12 (AWG). N'utilisez pas une rallonge de
calibre 16 ou 14.
