2. The supply line should have the
same electrical characteristics
(voltage, cycle, phase) as the
motor. Refer to the motor
nameplate, on side of motor, for
this information.
NOTE: The supply voltage must be
the same as the motor nameplate
voltage plus or minus 10%. Refer to
local codes for correct wire size and
maximum wire run; undersize wire
causes high amp draw and
overheating of 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,
or an equipment-grounding terminal
or lead on the product.
Grounding location is clearly
indicated on compressor.
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the specification chart for the
voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
Risk of Unsafe
Operation. Certain
air compressors can be operated
on a 15 amp circuit if the following
conditions are met.
1. Voltage supply to circuit must
comply with the National
Electrical Code.
2. Circuit is not used to supply any
other electrical needs.
3. Extension cords comply with
specifications.
4. Circuit is equipped with a 15
amp circuit breaker or 15 amp
time delay fuse. NOTE: If
compressor is connected to a
circuit protected by fuses, use
only time delay fuses. Time delay
fuses should be marked "D" in
Canada and "T" in the US.
If any of the above conditions cannot
be met, or if operation of the
compressor repeatedly causes
interruption of the power, it may be
necessary to operate it from a 20
amp circuit. It is not necessary to
change the cord set.
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.
Usa 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.
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 feet long,
use the next larger size.
Bury underground lines below
the frost line and avoid pockets
where condensation can gather
and freeze. Fill lines with air
pressure before covering to
make sure pipe joints are free
from leaks.
