6. Place the 3/8" lag screws through

Wiring instructions
Risk of Electrical
' "- "---Shock. improper
electrical grounding can result in
electrical shock. The wiring should
be done by a qualified electrician
A qualified electrician needs to knows
the following before wiring:
1. The amperage rating of the electri-
cal box should be adequate. Refer
to the Specification Chart for
this information.
2. The supply line should have the
same electrical characteristics
(voltage, cycle, phase) as the
motor. Refer to the motor name-
plate, on side of motor, for this
information.
NOTE: The wiring used must be rated
for the motor nameplate voltage, plus
or minus 10%. Refer to local codes for
recommended wire sizes, correct wire
size, and maximum wire run; undersize
wire causes high amp draw and over-
heating to the motor.
_Risk of Electrical
-- Shock. Electrical
wiring must be located away from
hot surfaces such as manifold
assembly, compressor outlet tubes,
heads, or cylinders.
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
This product should be connected to
a metallic, permanent wiring system,
of an equipment-grounding terminal
or lead on the product.
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the specification chart for the
voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
Air Distribution System
Risk of bursting.
Plastic or PVC
pipe is not designed for use with
compressed air. Regardless of its
indicated pressure rating, plastic
pipe can burst from air pressure.
Use only metal pipe for air
distribution lines.
The next figure represents a typical
air distribution system. The following
are tips to remember when setting up
the air compressor's air distribution
system.
NOTE: Compressed air from oil lube
air compressors will contain water
condensation and oil mist. Several
drains, traps and filters will be needed
to supply air without water (including
aerosols) or oil to spray equipment, air
tools and accessories requiring filtered
air. Always read the instructions for the
air tools and accessories being used.
Use pipe that is the same size as
the air tank outlet. Piping that is
too small will restrict the flow of
air.
If piping is over 100' (30.5 m) long,
use the next larger size.
Bury underground lines below
the frost line and avoid pockets
where condensation can gather
and freeze. Apply pressure before
underground lines are covered to
make sure all pipe joints are free
of leaks.
A flexible coupling is
recommended to be installed
between the globe valve/air
discharge outlet and main air
distribution line to allow for
vibration.
A separate regulator is
recommended to control the
air pressure. Air pressure from
the tank is usually too high for
individual air driven tools.
DO NOT install lubricators
between the tank and any spray
equipment, air tool or accessory
requiring oil-free filtered air.
Drain all traps, filters and dirt legs
daily.
