IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESUL
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
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.
Use extra air hose instead of an extension cord to avoid voltage drop and
power loss to the motor. If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
• A 3-pronged extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot
receptacle that will accept the plug on the compressor.
14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number
decreases.) 12 AWG, 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT
ADDITIONAL REGULATORS AND CONTROLS
Since the air tank pressure is usually greater than that which is needed, a
regulator is employed to control the air pressure ahead of any individual air
Separate air transformers which combine the function of air regulation,
moisture and dirt removal should be used where applicable.
LUBRICATION
The bearings in this unit are sealed, containing sufficient lubricant to last
their lifetime. No other lubrication is required.
NOTE: Serious damage may result if the following break-in
instructions are not closely followed.
VOLTAGE AND CIRCUIT PROTECTION
See SPECIFICATIONS Section of this manual.
The air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounded wire with
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.
air compressor runs cooler and provides longer service. The ventilation
openings on your air compressor are necessary to maintain proper operating
temperature. Do not place rags or other containers on or near these
