The air compressor is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wirewith an appropriate grounding plug. The
plug must be used with an outlet that has been installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. The outlet must have the same configuration
as the plug. See illustration.

Inspect the plug and cord before each use.
Do
not use if
there are signs of damage.

Do
not modify the plug that has been provided. If
it
does
not fit the available outlet, the correct outlet should be
installed by a qualified electrician.
If repairing or replacing cord or plug, the grounding wire
must be kept separate from the current-carrying wires.
Never connect the grounding wire to a flat blade plug
terminal. The grounding wire has insulation with an outer
surface that is green -with or without yellow stripes.
If these grounding instructions are not completely under-
stood, or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is
properly grounded, have the installation checked by a
qualified electrician.
Additional Regulators and
Con
t
ro
Is
Since the air tank pressure is usually greater than that
which is needed, a separate regulator
is
usually employed
to control the air pressure ahead of any individual air driven
device.
Separate air transformers which combine the function of air
regulation, moisture and dirt removal should be used where
applicable.
Break-in Procedures
Serious damage may result if the fol-
lowing break-in instructions are not
closely followed.
This procedure is required:
1.
Before the air compressor is put into service.
2.
When the check valve is replaced.
a.
b.
C.
d.
e.
f.
Set the pressure switch lever to the
"OFF"
position.
Plug the power cord into the correct branch
circuit receptacle.
Turn the regulator clockwise, opening it fully, to
prevent air pressure build-up in the tank.
Move the pressure switch lever to
"ONIAUTO.
The compressor will start.
Run the compressor for
15
minutes. Make sure
the regulator is open and there is no tank
pressure build-u p.
After
15
minutes, close the regulator by turning
knob counter clockwise. The air receiver will
fill
to cut-out pressure and the motor will stop. The
compressor is now ready for use.
