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 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.
Compatibility
Air tools and accessories that are run off the compressor must
be compatible with petroleum-based products. If you suspect
that a material is not compatible with petroleum products, an air
line filter for removal of moisture and oil vapor in compressed air
is required.
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.
The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for
proper cooling. The ventilation openings on the compressor 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 rubber
feet.
NOISE CONSIDERATIONS
Consult local officials for information regarding acceptable
noise levels in your area. To reduce excessive noise, use
vibration mounts or silencers, relocate the unit or construct total
enclosures or baffle walls. Contact a D
call 1-800-4-D WALT for assistance.
e
ELECTRICAL
Refer to all safety instructions before using unit. Observe
extension cord safety instructions if necessary. Always move the
On/Off switch (A) to the OFF position before removing the plug
from the outlet.
TRANSPORTING
When transporting the compressor in a vehicle, trailer, etc.,
ensure that the tank is drained and the unit is secured. Use care
when driving to avoid tipping the unit over in the vehicle. Damage
can occur to the compressor or surrounding items if the compressor
is tipped.
