3. Inspect the plug and cord
before each use. Do not
use if there are signs of
damage.
4. If these grounding
instructions are not com-
pletely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether
the compressor is properly
grounded, have the instal-
lation checked by a quali-
fied electrician.
IMPROPER
GROUNDING CAN RESULT
IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Do
not modify the plug pro-
vided. 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
recommended. The use of
extension cords will cause
voltage to drop resulting in
power loss to the motor and
overheating.
Instead of using an exten-
sion cord, increase the work-
ing reach of the air hose by
attaching another length of
hose to its end. Attach addi-
tional 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

• 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 cir-
cuit if the following condi-
tions are met.
1. Voltage supply through
branch circuit is 15 amps.
2. Circuit is not used to sup-
3. Extension cords comply
4. Circuit is equipped with a
NOTE: If compressor is con-
nected to a circuit protect-
ed 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 condi-
tions cannot be met, or if
operation of the compres-
sor repeatedly causes inter-
ruption of the power, it
may be necessary to oper-
ate it from a 20 amp circuit.
It is not necessary to change
the cord set.
