Extension Cords
Use extra air hose instead of an extension cord to avoid
voltage drop and power loss to the motor, and to prevent
overheating.
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
a 3-wira extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug
on the product
in good condition
no longer than 50 feet
12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as
gauge number decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may
also be used. DO NOT USE 14 OR 16 AWG.)
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to your Parts List Manual forthe voltage and circuit
protction requirements of your compressor, Use only a
fuse or circuitbreakerthat isthe same rating asthe branch
circuitthe air compressor is operated on. Ifthe compres-
sor is connected to a circuit protcted by fuses, use only
dual element time delay fuses, as noted in that Service
Bulletin.
Refer to Parts List Manual for your compressor. Certain
air compressor models can be operated on a 15 amp
circuit if:
1. Voltage supply to circuit is normal.
2. Circuit isnot used to supply anyother electdcal needs
(lights, appliances, etc.).
3. Extension cords comply with specifications.
4. Circuit isequipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or 15
amp time delay fuse. Use a Fusetron Type T time
delay fuse.
If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if
operation of the compressor repeatedly causes interrup-
tion of the power, itmay be necessary to operate it from
a 20 am pcircuit. Itisnotnecessary to change the cordset.
The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with an appropdate grounding
plug. The plug must be used with anoutlet that has been
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. The outlet must have the same configu-
ration as the plug. See illustration. DO NOT USE AN
ADAPTER.
Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if
there are signs of damage.
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
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 electrician.
If repairing or replacing cord or plug, the grounding
wire must be kept separate from the current-carry-
ingwires. Never connect the groundingwire to afiat
blade plug terminal. The grounding wire has insu-
lation with an outer surface that is green - with or
without yellow stripes.
If these grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the com-
pressor is propedy grounded, have the installation
checked by a qualified electrician.
