.
Inspect the plug and cord before
each use. Do not use if there are
signs of damage.
If these grounding
instructions
are not completely
understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the
compressor
is properly
grounded,
have the installation
checked
by a
qualified
electrician.
W.v_l=7¢_ _ [€1=1 ".1_ Risk of Electrical
Shock.
IMPROPER
GROUNDING
CAN RESULT IN
ELECTRICAL
SHOCK.
Do not modify the plug provided.
If
it does not fit the available
outlet, a
correct
outlet should be installed
by
a qualified
electrician.
Repairs to the cord set or plug
MUST
be made by a qualified
elec-
trician.
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 overheat-
ing.
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
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.
