Extension Cords; Thermal Overload Protector - Speedaire SDR7PC18 Manuel D'utilisation Et Carnet De Pièces Détachées

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Improper installation of the grounding plug is able to result in a risk of electric
shock. When repair or replacement of the cord or plug is required, do not connect
the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that
is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
Never connect green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.

Extension Cords

1. The air compressor should be located where it can be directly plugged into an outlet. An extension cord
should not be used with this unit.
2. To avoid loss of power and overheating, additional air hose must be used to reach work area instead of
extension cords.
