Lubrication and Oil

This unit needs no lubrication or oiling.

Extension Cords

To avoid voltage drop, power loss, and overheating to the motor,
use extra air hose instead of an extension cord. Low voltage can
cause damage to the motor.
If an extension cord must be used:
• do not use with any permanently mounted air compressor.
• 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 extension cord.
• make sure the extension cord is in good condition.
• the extension cord should be no longer than 50 feet.
• the minimum wire size is 12 gauge (AWG). (Wire size
increases as gauge number decreases. 10 AWG and
8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 14 AWG or
16 AWG.)
Certain air compressor models can be converted to
240 volts from 120 volt operation. When converting
a specific model to 240 volt operation, the attached
three-prong 120 volt plug must be replaced with
the three-prong 240 volt plug (purchase locally) or
order line cord Part No. K-0084.
Refer to Parts List of 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 electri-
cal needs (lights, appliances, etc.).
3. Extension cords comply with specifications
in this manual.
4. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit
breaker or 15 amp time delay fuse. Use a time
delay fuse Type "D" fuse.
Some models have a dual voltage motor, 120 and 240 volt. They
are wired for 120 volt but can be converted to 240 volt operation.
Instructions for converting these motors for operation at 240
volt can be found printed on the label attached to the side of the
motor.
If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of
the compressor 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.
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the specification chart for 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.

If a pipe line is necessary, use pipe that is the same size as the
air tank outlet. Piping that is too small will restrict the flow of air.
If piping is over 100 feet long, use the next larger size. Bury
underground lines below the frost line and avoid pockets where
condensation can gather and freeze. Apply pressure before
underground lines are covered to make sure all pipe joints are
free of leaks.
It is recommended that a flexible coupling be installed between
the air discharge valve outlet and main air distribution line to
allow for vibration.

The 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 accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances. The outlet must have
the same configuration as the plug. See illustration. DO NOT

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 electrician.
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 understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded,
have the installation checked by a qualified electrician.
