Extension
Cords
Using extension cords is not recom-
mended. The use of extension cords
will cause voltage to drop resulting
in power Ioss 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.
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.
4.
Extension cords comply with
specifications.
Circuit is equipped with a 15
amp circuit breaker or 15 amp
time delay fuse. NOTE: if com-
pressor 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
can-
not be met, or if operation of the
compressor
repeatedly causes inter-
ruption of the power, it may be nec-
essary to operate it from a 20 amp
circuit, it is not necessary to change
the cord set.
