MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS AND ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Power Supply and Motor Specifications
The A-C motor used on this compressor is a permanent split capacitor non-reversible induction type, having the following
specifications. It is wired at the factory for operation on 120V AC, 60 Hz service.
General Electrical Connections
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This compressor is equipped with an electric cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, as shown. The
plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes
is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
If the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the compressor
is properly grounded check with a qualified electrician or service personnel.
Grounding Instructions
1.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 v circuit. It must be grounded.
In the event of an electric short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
Unit is equipped with a cord that has a grounding prong. It will fit one
of the common outlet types shown in Figure 2. If plug will not fit in
the desired outlet, have the plug or the outlet replaced by a qualified
electrician.
2.
Always check with a qualified electrician or serviceman 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 qualified electrician.
3.
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug,
and a 3-slot receptacle that accepts the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is not damaged. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product draws. For lengths less than 25ft. 16-3
AWG extension cords shall be used. An undersized cord results in a drop in the voltage and loss of power and overheating.
(NOTICE: Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length. When in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.)
4. Use of an extension cord may cause excess heat to motor. This could lead to tripped breaker (at electrical panel) or tripped
thermal overload (on compressor motor). If this occurs, eliminate extension cord and plug compressor directly into electrical
outlet. Avoid using extension cords; use longer air hose(s) instead.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire
with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.

Figure 2 - Grounding Method
To reduce the risk of electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the tool, use proper circuit protection.
Your tool is wired at the factory for operation using the voltage shown. Connect tool to a power line with the
appropriate voltage and a 15-amp branch circuit. Use a 15-amp time delay type fuse or circuit breaker.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Use GFCI. Use indoors only.
Disconnect all connections before servicing. Use identical replacement
parts. Servicing must be performed by a licensed, qualified electrician.
To reduce the risk of shock or fire, if power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Improper
use of grounding plug can result in a risk of
electrical shock. Plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with local codes and ordinances
NOTICE: Do not use grounding adapter.
