Extension
Cords
Using extension cords is not recom-
mended. The use of extension cords
will cause voltage to drop resulting in
power loss to the motor and over-
heating.
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.
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
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.)
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 interrup-
tion of the power, it may be necessary
to operate it from a 20 amp circuit. It
is not necessary to change the cord
set.
