MOTOR RESET AND WIRNING
Ensure that all guards and shrouds are in
place before pressing the reset switch to restart the
motor.
If the motor shuts down
because of overload, wait
10–15 minutes so the motor
can cool down, then press
(NEVER force) the reset
switch (see H) to restart the
motor.
Refer to the air compressor’s serial label for the unit’s voltage
and amperage requirements.
Use a dedicated circuit
Forbestperformanceandreliablestarting,theair
compressor must be plugged into a dedicated circuit,
ascloseaspossibletothefuseboxorcircuitbreaker.
The compressor will use the full capacity of a typical 15 amp
household circuit. If any other electrical 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: To handle the initial electrical load of starting the
air compressor, 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).
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 longer 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-slot receptacle that will 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.
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.

ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS
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.
DANGER:
Improper installation of the

If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to

insulation having an outer surface that is green with
orwithoutyellowstripesisthegroundingwire.
This product is for use on a 120 volt circuit. A cord with a
grounding plug, as shown here, shall be used.
Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug (see Fig. 5). 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 will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
licensed electrician.
