Electrical Wiring
Refer to the air compressor's serial label for the unit's voltage and amperage requirements. Use a dedicated circuit. For
best performance and reliable starting, the air compressor must be plugged into a dedicated circuit, as close as possible
to the fuse box or circuit breaker. The compressor will use the full capacity of a typical 15 amp household circuit. If other
devices are on the same circuit, the compressor may fail to start. Low voltage or an overloaded circuit can result in
sluggish starting that causes the motor overload protection system circuit breaker to trip, especially in cold conditions.
NOTE!
power cord directly into a grounded wall socket. Do not use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary.
Instead, use a longer air hose to reach the area where the air is needed. If use of an extension cord cannot be
avoided, the cord should be no longer than 100 feet and be a minimum wire size of 14 gauge (AWG).
For extension cord use the chart below for the proper extension cord length.

Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug of the
product. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage as well
as a loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Grounding Instructions
This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire 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 ordinance.
WARNING!
to flat blade terminal. The wire insulation having an outer surface that is green with, or without, yellow stripes
is the grounding wire.
This product is for use on a nominal 110 volt circuit. An outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter
should be used with this product. Do not alter the plug to fit into a non–Ground or 2-slot receptacle.
ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS
Avoid use of extension cords. If using an extension cord is necessary, be sure to use an
extension with the correct specifications. For optimum performance, plug the compressor

Warning! Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire
