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
• 14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire
size increases as gauge number
decreases. 12 AWG and 10 AWG
may also be used. DO NOT USE
16 OR 18 AWG.)
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.

Voltage and Circuit Protection

Refer to the specification chart for the
voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
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 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.
