Refer to the Specifications, in the parts manual, for this

2.
The supply line should have the same electrical characteristics
(voltage, cycle, phase) as the motor. Refer to the motor
nameplate, on side of motor, for this information.
NOTE: The wiring used must be rated for the motor nameplate
voltage, plus or minus 10%. Refer to local codes for recommended
wire sizes, correct wire size, and maximum wire run; undersize wire
causes high amp draw and overheating to the motor.
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. Electrical wiring must
be located away from hot surfaces such as manifold assembly,
compressor outlet tubes, heads, or cylinders.
Grounding Instructions
This product should be connected to a metallic, permanent wiring
system, of and equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the
product.
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 cir-
cuit 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.
Main power disconnect switch
Install a main power disconnect switch in the line from the panel
to the compressor. The main power disconnect switch must be
located near the compressor, for ease of use and safety. When
turned OFF, the main power disconnect switch shuts off all power
to the compressor. When it is turned ON, the compressor will
start and stop automatically, controlled by the pressure switch.
Air Distribution System
WARNING: Risk of bursting. Plastic or PVC pipe is not designed
for use with compressed air. Regardless of its indicated pressure
rating, plastic pipe can burst from air pressure. Use only metal pipe
for air distribution lines.
INSTALLING AND DISCONNECTING HOSES
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip. Ensure
regulated pressure gauge reads 0 psi.
The next figure represents a typical air distribution system.
The following are tips to remember when setting up the air
compressor's air distribution system.
NOTE: Compressed air from oil lube air compressors will contain
wa ter condensation and oil mist. Several drains, traps and filters
will be needed to supply air without water (including aerosols) or oil
to spray equipment, air tools and accessories requiring filtered air.
Always read the in struc tions for the air tools and accessories being
used.
