ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING
This product must 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 ordinances. Do not use
grounding adapter.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt
circuit and has a grounding plug similar to the
plug illustrated in Figure 1. If the listed conditions
cannot be met or if nuisance tripping of the
current protection device occurs, it may be
possible to operate the compressor from a 120
volt 20 amp circuit. See Figure 1.
Check motor data plate for 240 volt compatability.
A 240 volt unit must be operated on a 240 volt
circuit. The cord must only plug into a 240 volt
grounded outlet and may require a new cord and
plug. See Figure 2.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman when the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or when in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided; if it does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Only
connect the product to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with
this product.
