ELECTRICAL WIRING

Refer to the air compressor's serial label for the unit's voltage

and amperage requirements.

Use a dedicated circuit

For best performance and reliable starting, the air

compressor must be plugged into a dedicated circuit, as

close as possible to the fuse box or circuit breaker. The

compressor will use the full capacity of a typical 15 amp

household circuit. If any other electrical devices are drawing from

the compressor's circuit, the compressor may fail to start. Low

voltage or an overloaded circuit can result in sluggish starting that

causes the motor overload protection system or circuit breaker to

trip, especially in cold conditions.

NOTE: To handle the initial electrical load of starting the air

compressor, a circuit breaker is recommended. If the air

compressor is connected to a circuit protected by a fuse, use dual

element time delay fuses (Buss Fusetron type "T" only).

EXTENSION CORDS

NOTE: Avoid use of extension cords.

For optimum performance, plug the compressor power cord

directly into a grounded wall socket. Do not use an extension cord

unless absolutely necessary. Instead, use a longer air hose to

reach the area where the air is needed.

If use of an extension cord cannot be avoided, the cord

should be no longer than 50 feet and be a minimum wire size of

12 gauge (AWG). Do not use a 16 or 14 gauge extension cord.

Use only 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. Make sure your extension cord is in good

condition. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage,

resulting in loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge

number, the heavier the cord.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

FOR CORD-CONNECTED MODELS:

This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical

short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by

providing an escape wire for the electric current.

This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire

with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged

into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinance.

DANGER:

Improper installation of the

grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is

necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to

either flat blade terminal of the plug. The wire `

insulation having an outer surface that is green with

or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.

This product is for use on a 115 volt circuit (or 230 volt circuit

if configured by a licensed electrician.). A cord with a grounding

plug, as shown here, shall be used.

Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having

the same configuration as the plug (see Fig. 5). No adapter

should be used with this product.
