• 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge num-
ber decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT
USE 14 OR 16 AWG.)
CAUTION: 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.
Compatibility
NOTE: Always use an air line filter to remove moisture and oil vapor
when spraying paint.
Location
Place the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area
at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from the wall or other obstructions that
will interfere with the flow of air. Keep the compressor away from
areas that have dirt and/or volatile fumes in the atmosphere. These
impurities may clog the intake filter and valves, causing inefficient
operation.
WARNING: The air compressor pump and shroud are designed
to allow for proper cooling. The ventilation openings on the com-
pressor are necessary to maintain proper operating temperature.
Do not place rags or other containers on or near these openings.
Place the air compressor on a flat surface resting on the wheels
and rubber foot.
ELECTRICAL
Refer to all safety instructions before using unit. Observe extension
cord safety instructions, if necessary. Always move the On/Auto/Off
switch (L) to the OFF position before removing the plug from the
outlet.
Transporting
When transporting the compressor in a vehicle, trailer, etc. ensure
that the air tank is drained and the unit is secured and placed on a
flat horizontal surface. Use care when driving so to avoid tipping the
unit over in the vehicle. Damage can occur to the unit or surrounding
items if unit is tipped.
