Voltage And Circuit Protection - Emglo E810-4V Manual De Instrucciones

• a 3­wire extension cord that has a 3­blade grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on
the product
• in good condition
• no longer than 50 feet (15,2 m)
• 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge num-
ber decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO
NOT USE 14 OR 16 AWG.)

Voltage and Circuit Protection

Refer to the Voltage and Minimum Branch Circuit Requirements
under Specifications.
CAUTION: Certain air compressors can be operated on a
14 amp circuit 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 14 Amp circuit breaker or 14 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
Air tools and accessories that are run off the compressor must
be compatible with petroleum-based products. If you suspect
that a material is not compatible with petroleum products, an air
line filter for removal of moisture and oil vapor in compressed air
is required.
noTE: Always use an air line filter to remove moisture and oil
vapor when spraying paint.
PREPARATION FOR USE
Pre-Start Checklist (Fig. 1)
1. Ensure the On/Off switch (A) is in the OFF position.
2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
See Voltage and Circuit protection under Installation.
3. Ensure air tank is drained, see Draining Air Tank under
Maintenance.
4. Ensure the drain valve (H) is closed.
5. Ensure safety valve (G) is functioning properly, see Checking
Safety Valve under Maintenance.
6. Check pump oil level, see Compressor pump oil under
Maintenance.
CAUTION: Do not operate without oil or with inadequate oil. Emglo
is not responsible for compressor failure caused by inadequate oil.
7. Turn regulator knob (D) counterclockwise until fully closed.
Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
8. Attach hose and accessories.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
9. Ensure all covers and labels are in place, legible (for labels)
and securely mounted. Do not use compressor until all items
have been verified.
WARNING: Risk of bursting. Too much air pressure causes a
hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer's maximum
pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet
pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.
Initial Set-up (Fig. 1)
WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you read and understand
this instruction manual for safety, operation and maintenance
instructions.
