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 Fig. 3.
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 installa-
tion checked by a qualified electrician.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN
RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
