Extension Cords; Voltage And Circuit Protection - Craftsman 919.167701 Manual Del Usuario

ExTENSION CORDS

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
• no longer than 50 feet (15.2 m)
• 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire
size increases as gauge number
decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG
may also be used. DO NOT USE
14 OR 16 AWG.)
Risk of property
damage. The use of an
undersized extension cord 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. Always use an air hose
rated 300 psi or greater.
VOLTAGE AND CIRCUIT
PROTECTION
Refer to the specification chart for the
voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
Risk of unsafe
operation. Certain air
compressors can be operated on a 15
amp circuit if the following conditions
are met.
1. Voltage supply to circuit must
comply with the National Electrical
Code.
2. Circuit is not used to supply any
other electrical needs.
3. Extension cords comply with
specifications.
4. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp
circuit breaker or 15 amp time
delay fuse. NOTE: If compressor
is connected to a circuit protected
by fuses, use only time delay
fuses. Time delay fuses should be
marked "D" in Canada and "T" in
the US.
If any of the above conditions cannot
be met, or if operation of the compres-
sor repeatedly causes interruption
of the power, it may be necessary to
operate it from a 20 amp circuit. It is
not necessary to change the cord set.
TRANSPORTING
When transporting the compressor in a
vehicle, trailer, etc., make sure the tank
is drained and the unit is secured with
straps to prevent tipping. Use care
when driving to prevent tipping the unit
over in the vehicle. Damage can occur
to the compressor or surrounding
items if the compressor is tipped.
Lifting
Always use two
people when lift-
ing and lift from
the recommended
lift points. DO
NOT lift by wheels
or shroud.
Moving
adequate clearance, stability, or
support for pulling the unit up and
down stairs or steps. The unit must be
lifted or pushed up a ramp.
1. Grasp handle of compressor and
tilt compressor back to rest on
wheels.
proper footing and use caution
when rolling compressor so that
unit does not tip or cause loss of
balance.
2. When location is reached slowly
lower compressor to ground.
Always store compressor in a ver-
tical position resting on the rubber
bumpers and wheels.
