Extension Cords
Using extension cords is not
recommended. The use of extension
cords will cause voltage to drop
resulting in power loss to the motor
and overheating.
Attach extra air hoses at the air outlet
instead of using 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
• 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.)
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the Specification Chart for
the voltage and minimum branch
circuit requirements.
Certain air compressors can be
operated on a 15 amp circuit if the
following conditions are met.
1. Voltage supply through branch
circuit is 15 amps.
2. Circuit is not used to supply any
other electrical needs (lights,
appliances, etc.).
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 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.
