HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT
Location of the Air Compressor
• Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area.
• The air compressor should be located at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from the
wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air.
• The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling.
The ventilation openings on the compressor are necessary to maintain proper
operating temperature. Do not place rags or other containers on or near these
openings.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Risk of Electrical Shock. In the event of a short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This air compressor must be properly grounded.
The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with
an appropriate grounding plug (see following illustrations).
1. The cord set and plug with this unit contains a grounding pin. This plug
MUST be used with a grounded outlet.
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must
be installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
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 compressor is properly grounded, have the installation checked
by a qualified electrician.
Risk of Electrical Shock. IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN
RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCk.

outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician.
Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified electrician.
