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,
If these grounding instructionsare net completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the compressor is properly grounded, have the installationchecked by a
qualified electrician. The air compressor is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be usedwith 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 Fig. 8. DO NOT USE
AN ADAPTER.
Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not
use if there are signsof damage.
I_'='_ Improper grounding can result
in electrical shockZ
Do not modify the plugthat has been provided. If it
does net 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
insulationwith an outer surface that is green - with or
without yellow stripes.

Additional Regulators and Controls
Since the air tank pressureis 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.
