Operating Instructions
Installation
LOCATION
It is extremely important to install the
compressor in a clean, well ventilated
area where the surrounding air
temperature will not be more than
100°F.
A minimum clearance of 18 inches
between the compressor and a wall is
required because objects could obstruct
air flow.
Do not locate the
compressor air
inlet near steam, paint spray,
sandblast areas or any other source
of contamination. This debris will
damage the motor.
Household use only. Store indoors.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
1. Check and tighten all bolts, fittings,
etc., before operating compressor.
2. Operate compressor in a ventilated
area so that compressor may be
properly cooled.
3. Compressor should be located
where it can be directly plugged
into an outlet, but if this is not
possible, an extension cord may be
used. It should be selected using the
extension cord chart on page 5 as a
guide.
4. To avoid loss of power and
overheating, it is better to use
additional air hose instead of
extension cords to reach work area.
WIRING
1. Local electrical wiring codes
differ from area to area. Source
wiring, plug and protector must
be rated for at least the amperage
and voltage indicated on motor
nameplate, and meet all electrical
codes for this minimum.
2. Use a slow blow fuse type T or a
circuit breaker.
Overheating,
short circuiting
and fire damage will result from
inadequate wiring, etc.
All wiring and
electrical
connections should be performed
by a qualified electrician.
Installation must be in accordance
with local codes and national
electrical codes.

NOTE: 120 volt, compressor can be
operated on a 120 volt, 15 amp circuit
under the following conditions:
a. No other electrical appliances or
lights are connected to the same
branch circuit.
b. Voltage supply is normal.
c. Extension cords are of the
minimum gauge specified in this
instruction manual.
d. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp
circuit breaker or a 15 amp slow
blow fuse type T.
3. If above conditions cannot be met
or if nuisance tripping of current
protection device occurs, it may be
necessary to operate compressor
from a 120 volt, 20 amp circuit.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. In
the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current. This product
is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with 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 ordinances.
Improper
installation
of the grounding plug is able to
result in a risk of electric shock. When
repair or replacement of the cord or
plug is required, do not connect the
grounding wire to either flat blade
terminal. The wire with insulation
having an outer surface that is green
with or without yellow stripes is the
grounding wire.
Do not use a
grounding
adapter with this product!
Never connect
green (or green
and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician
or serviceman when the grounding
instructions are not completely
understood, or when in doubt as
to whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided; if it does not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified technician.

This product is for use on a nominal
120V circuit and has a grounding plug
similar to the plug illustrated in
Figure 2. Only connect the product
to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. Do not use
an adapter with this product.

ExTENSION CORDS
To avoid loss
of power and
overheating, it is better to use
additional air hose instead of extension
cords to reach work area.
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that
has a 3-blade grounding plug, and
a 3-slot receptacle that accepts the
plug on the product. Make sure your
extension cord is not damaged. When
using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current
your product draws. An undersized
cord results in a drop in line voltage
and loss of power and overheating.
[The table on page 5 shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. When
in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.]
MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR
Moisture in compressed air will form
into droplets as it comes from an air
compressor pump. When humidity
is high or when a compressor is in
continuous use for an extended period
of time, this moisture will collect in
the tank. When using a paint spray
or sandblast gun, this water will be
carried from the tank through the
hose, and out of the gun as droplets
mixed with the spray material.
IMPORTANT: This condensation
will cause water spots in a paint job,
especially when spraying other than
water based paints. If sandblasting, it
will cause the sand to cake and clog
the gun, rendering it ineffective. A
filter in the air line, located as near to
the gun as possible, will help eliminate
this moisture.
