Installation

(Cont.)

compressor in a clean, well ventilated area
where the surrounding air temperature
will not be more than 100°F.

A minimum clearance of 18 inches
between the compressor and a wall is
required because objects could obstruct
air flow.

Do not locate the 
compressor air

inlet near steam, paint spray, sandblast
areas or any other source of
contamination. This debris will damage
the motor.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION 

All wiring and 
electrical

connections should be performed by a
qualified electrician. Installation must be
in accordance with local codes and
national electrical codes.

Never use an extension
cord with this product. Use
additional air hose instead
of an extension cord to
avoid power loss and permanent motor
damage. Use of an extension cord voids
the warranty.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

1. This product is for use on a nominal

120 volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated
in Fig. 3. Make sure the product is
connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. This
product must be grounded. In the
event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces risk of electrical
shock by providing an escape wire for
electric current. This product is
equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug. Plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.

!

CAUTION

!

WARNING

!

CAUTION

Improper use of
grounding plug can re-
sult in a possible risk of
electrical shock!

Do not use a 
grounding adapter

with this product!

2. If repair or replacement of cord or plug

is necessary, do not connect grounding
wire to either flat blade terminal. The
wire with insulation having an external
surface that is green (with or without
yellow stripes) is the grounding wire.

Never connect 
green (or green and

yellow) wire to a live terminal.

3. Check with a qualified electrician or

serviceman if grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether product is
properly grounded. Do not modify
plug provided; if it will not fit outlet,
have proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.

WIRING

1. Local electrical wiring codes differ from

area to area. Source wiring, plug and
protector must be rated for at least the
amperage and voltage indicated on
motor nameplate, and meet all electrical
codes for this minimum.

2. Use a slow blow fuse or a circuit

breaker.

Overheating, short 
circuiting and fire

damage will result from inadequate
wiring, etc.

NOTE: 

120 volt, 15 amp units can be

operated on a 120 volt circuit under the
following conditions:

!

CAUTION

!

WARNING

!

DANGER

!

DANGER

a. No other electrical appliances or lights

are connected to the same branch
circuit.

b. Voltage supply is normal.

c. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp

circuit breaker or a 15 amp slow blow
fuse.

3. If these conditions cannot be met or if

nuisance tripping of current
protection device occurs, it may be
necessary to operate compressor from
a 120 volt, 20 amp circuit.

Operation

Pressure Switch 

- Auto/Off Switch - In

the 

ON 

position, the compressor shuts

off automatically when tank pressure
reaches the maximum preset pressure.
The compressor will automatically
restart when it reaches the minimum
preset pressure. In the 

OFF 

position,

the compressor will not operate. This
switch should be in the 

OFF 

position

when connecting or disconnecting the
power cord from the electrical outlet
or when changing air tools.

Regulator

- The regulator controls the

amount of air pressure released at the
hose outlet.

ASME Safety Valve

- This valve

automatically releases air if the tank
pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
