HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT
Location of the Air Compressor
• Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area.
• The air compressor should be located at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) away
from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air.
• The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for proper
cooling. The ventilation openings on the compressor are necessary to
maintain proper operating temperature. Do not place rags or other con-
tainers on or near these openings.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Risk of Electrical Shock. In the event of a short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This air compressor
must be properly grounded.
The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire
with an appropriate grounding plug (see following illustrations).
1. The cord set and plug with this unit contains a grounding pin. This plug
MUST be used with a grounded outlet.
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must be installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
2. Make sure the outlet being used
has the same configuration as
the grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN
ADAPTER. See Fig. 3.
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 completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded, have the
installation checked by a qualified electrician.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN
RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Do not modify the plug provided. 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 electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
• a 3­wire extension cord that has a 3­blade grounding plug, and a 3­slot
receptacle that will accept the plug on the product
• in good condition
• no longer than 50 feet (15,2 m)
• 16 gauge (AWG) or heavier. (Wire size increases as gauge number
decreases. 14, 12, 10 and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 18 AWG.)
The use of an undersized extension cord will cause voltage to drop
resulting in power loss to the motor and overheating. 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.
