ELECTRICAL WiRiNG 1
Refer to the air compressor's serial label for the unit's
voltage and amperage requirements.
Use a dedicated circuit
For best performance and reliable starting, the air
compressor must be plugged into a dedicated circuit, as
close as possible to the fusebox or circuit breaker. The
compressor will use the ful! capadty of a typical 15 amp
household circuit. If any other ebctrical devices are drawing
from the compressor's circuit, the compressor may fail to start.
Low voltage or an overloaded circuit can result in sluggish
starting that causes the motor overload protection system or
circuit breaker to trip, especially in cold conditions.
NOTE: A circuit breaker is recommended. If the air
compressor is connected to a circuit protected by a fuse, use
dual element time delay fuses (Buss Fusetron type "T" only).
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 !onger 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-s!ot receptacle that wil! 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
FOR CORD=CONNECTED MODELS:
This product should 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.
Note: Not ali units shipped with power cord.
_ll _ Improper installation of the grounding
plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or
replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the grounding wire to either flat blade
termina!. 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 115 or 230 volt circuit.
A cord with a grounding plug, as shown here, shal! be used.
Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug (see Fig. 4). 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 wil! not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a licensed electrician.
FOR PERMANENTLY CONNECTED MODELS OR
MODELS SHIPPED WITHOUT POWER CORD: This product
must be connected to a grounded metallic, permanent wiring
system, or an equipment grounding terminal or bad on the
product.
C,&BLAGE _:LECTIQUE
Pour vous renseigner sur les normes d'intensit6 et de
tension de Fapparei!, r6f6rez-vous a 1'6tiquette du num6ro de
serie du compresseur d'air.
UtHisez ue circuit s_par6
Pour obtenir le meiHeur rendement possible et une
raise en marche fiable, le compresseur d'air doit #tre
instaH_ sur un circuit s_par_, aussi pros que possiMe
d'une bofte & fusiMes ou d'un disjoncteur. Le compresseur
utilise toute la capacit6 d'un circuit a usage domestique typique.
Si d'autres appareils electriques tirent du courant sur le circuit
du compresseur, i! est possible que le compresseur ne puisse
pas d6marrer. Si la tension est insuffisante ou si le circuit est
surcharg6, le d6marrage risque d'Stre lent et d'entra_ner en
cons6quence le d6clenchement du diqoncteur ou de
I'interrupteur de remise en marche du moteur, surtout s'il fait
froid.
REMARQUE : est recommande d'utiliser un disioncteur.
Si le compresseur est branch6 sur un circuit prot6ge par un
fusible, utilisez des fusibles temporis6s a double 61ement (Buss
Fusetron de type <<T>>seulement).
RALLONGES
REMARQUE : Evitez d'utiliser des rallonges.
Pour obtenir un rendement optimum, branchez le c&ble
d'alimentation du compresseur directement sur une prise de
courant mise a la terre. N'utilisez pas de rallonge saul
n6cessit6 absolue. Utilisez plut6t un tuyau flexible plus long
pour atteindre la zone ou I'air est n6cessaire.
S'i! I'utilisation d'une ral!onge est in6vitable, le cordon
61ectrique ne doit pas depasser 15 m (50 pi) et doit 6tre d'un
calibre minimum de 12 (AWG). N'utilisez pas une rallonge de
calibre 16 ou 14.
