outlet, a correct outlet should be installed by a qualified
electrician.
• Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified
electrician.
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
• plug is not worn
• 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.)
NOTICE: The use of an undersized extension cord will cause volt-
age 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 a minimum 3/8"
(9.5 mm) or greater air hose rated at 300 psi.
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the Voltage and Minimum Branch Circuit Requirements
under Specifications.
CAUTION: Certain air compressors can be operated on a
15 amp circuit if the following conditions are met.
• Voltage supply to circuit must comply with the National
Electrical Code.
• Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs.
• Extension cords comply with specifications.
• 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 U.S.
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.
How to Use Your Unit (Fig 3)
How to Stop:
Set the Auto/Off switch to "Off".
Before Starting
WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you read this instruction
manual for safety, operation and maintenance instructions.
Break-in Procedure
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Serious damage may result if
the following break-in instructions are not closely followed.
This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into
service and when the check valve or a complete compressor pump
has been replaced.
1.
Make sure the Auto/Off switch is in the "Off" position.
2.
Check oil level in pump. See Oil paragraph in the Maintenance
section for instructions.
3.
Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
(Refer to Voltage and Circuit Protection paragraph in the
installation section of this manual.)
4.
Open the drain valve (counterclockwise) fully to permit air to
escape and prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during
