VOLTAGE AND CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Refer to the Voltage and Minimum Branch Circuit Requirements under Pump/Motor
Specifications.
Risk of Overheating. Certain air compressors can be operated on a 15 amp cir-
cuit if the following conditions are met.
• Voltage supply to circuit must comply with the National Electrical Code.
• Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs.
• Extension cords comply with specifications.
• Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp time delay fuse.
NOTE: If compressor is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use only time delay
fuses. Time delay fuses should be marked "D" in Canada and "T" in the US.
If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the compressor repeatedly
causes interruption of the power, it may be necessary to operate it from a 20 amp circuit. It is
not necessary to change the cord set.
COMPATIBILITY
NOTE: Always use an air line filter to remove moisture and oil vapor when spraying paint.
LOCATION
Place the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from
the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air. Keep the compressor away
from areas that have dirt and/or volatile fumes in the atmosphere. These impurities may clog the
intake filter and valves, causing inefficient operation.
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 containers on or near these openings.
Place the air compressor on a flat surface resting on the rubber feet and wheels.
eleCTrICAl
Refer to all safety instructions before using unit. Observe extension cord safety instructions if
necessary. Always move the Auto/Off switch (A) to the OFF position before removing the plug
from the outlet.
TrAnSPOrTInG (FIG. 3)
When transporting the compressor in a
vehicle, trailer, etc., make sure the tank is drained and the
unit is secured with straps to prevent tipping. Use care
when driving to prevent tipping the unit over in the vehicle.
Damage can occur to the compressor or surrounding items
if the compressor is tipped.
lIFTInG
Always use two people when lifting and lift
from the recommended lift points (N). DO NOT lift by wheels
or shroud.
mOVInG
CAUTION: The wheels and handle do not provide adequate clearance, stability, or support
for pulling the unit up and down stairs or steps. The unit must be lifted or pushed up a ramp.
1. Grasp handle of compressor and tilt compressor back to rest on wheels.
Risk of Unsafe Operation. Ensure proper footing and use caution when rolling
compressor so that unit does not tip or cause loss of balance.
2. When location is reached slowly lower compressor to ground. Always store compressor
in a vertical position resting on the rubber bumpers and wheels.
