Safety Information (continued)
WARNING: Risk of electrical
shock. Electrical wiring must
be located away from hot
surfaces such as manifold
assembly, compressor outlet
tubes, heads, or cylinders.
CAUTION: Improper electrical
installation of this product may
void its warranty and your fire
insurance. Have circuit wiring
performed by qualified personnel
such as a licensed electrician
who is familiar with the current
national electrical code and any
prevailing local electrical codes.
A qualified electrician needs to know the
following before wiring:
1.
The amperage rating of the electrical
box should be adequate. Refer to the
Specifications for this information.
Air Distribution System
WARNING: Risk of bursting.
Plastic or PVC pipe is not
designed for use with
compressed air. Regardless of
its indicated pressure rating,
plastic pipe can burst from air
pressure. Use only metal pipe
for air distribution lines.
Figure 1 represents a typical air distribution
system. The following are tips to remember
when setting up the air compressor's air
distribution system.
NOTICE: Compressed air from
oil lube air compressors will
contain wa ter condensation
and oil mist. Several drains,
traps and filters will be needed
to supply air without water
(including aerosols) or oil to
spray equipment, air tools and
accessories requiring filtered
air. Always read the in struc tions
for the air tools and accessories
being used.
2.
The supply line should have the same
electrical characteristics (voltage, cycle,
phase) as the motor. Refer to the motor
nameplate, on side of motor, for this
information.
NOTICE: The wiring used
must be rated for the motor
nameplate voltage, plus or minus
10%. Refer to local codes for
recommended wire sizes, correct
wire size, and maximum wire
run; undersize wire causes high
amp draw and overheating to the
motor.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
(GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS)
This product should be connected to a
metallic, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the product.
•
Use pipe that is the same size as the air
tank outlet. Piping that is too small will
restrict the flow of air.
•
If piping is over 100' (30.5 m) long, use
the next larger size.
•
Bury underground lines below the
frost line and avoid pockets where
condensation can gather and freeze.
Apply pressure before underground
lines are covered to make sure all pipe
joints are free of leaks.
•
A flexible coupling is recommended
to be installed between the globe
valve/air discharge outlet and main air
distribution line to allow for vibration.
•
A separate regulator is recommended
to control the air pressure. Air pressure
from the tank is usually too high for
individual air driven tools.
