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.)
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.
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 com-
pressor 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
horizontal position resting on the
rubber bumpers and wheels.
