ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS
ELECTRICAL WIRING
Refer to the air compressor's serial label for the unit's voltage and amperage
requirements.
EXTENSION CORDS
NOTE: Avoid use of extension cords.
For optimum performance, plug the compressor 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
50 feet and be a minimum wire size of 12 gauge (AWG). Do not use a 16 or 14
gauge extension cord.
Use only 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. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
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 ordinance is needed.
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either
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 120 volt circuit. A cord with a grounding
plug, as shown here, shall be used.
Make sure that the product is connected
to an outlet having the same configuration
as the plug (Figure 3). No adapter should
be used with this product.
Check with a licensed electrician if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether
the product is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided; if it will not fit
the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a licensed electrician.
Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in
a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the
