2. Make sure the outlet being used
has the same configuration as the
grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN
ADAPTER. See illustration.

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 compres-
sor is properly grounded, have the
installation checked by a qualified
electrician.
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 3-wire extension cord that has
a 3-blade 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 number
decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG
may also be used. DO NOT USE
14 OR 16 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. Always use an air
hose rated 300 PSI or greater.
VOLTAGE AND CIRCUIT
PROTECTION
Refer to the specification chart for the
voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
operated on a 15 amp circuit if the
following conditions are met.
1. Voltage supply to circuit must
comply with the National Electrical
Code.
2. Circuit is not used to supply any
other electrical needs.
3. Extension cords comply with
specifications.
4. 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 compres-
sor 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.
TRANSPORTING
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 lift-
ing and lift from
the recommended
lift points. DO
NOT lift by wheels
or shroud.
