INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Grounding
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not use
grounding adapter.
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 by a qualified electrician.
This product comes from the factory ready for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug
similar to the plug illustrated in Figure 2. If the listed conditions cannot be met or if nuisance tripping of
the current protection device occurs, it may be possible to operate the compressor from a 120 volt 20 amp
circuit. See Figure 2.
Check motor data plate for 240 volt compatibility. A 240 volt unit must be operated on a 240 volt circuit.
The cord must only plug into a 240 volt grounded outlet and may require a new cord and plug. See Figure
3. This product may be modified to operate at 240V. To do so, a 240V power cord needs to be purchased
and installed on the unit and wired into the pressure switch just like the 120V cord. The panel on the back
of the motor needs to be opened and the flag terminals need to be moved so that the brown wire that is
on terminal #1 is on terminal #7 and the white wire that is on terminal #3 needs to be moved to terminal #1
(where the brown wire was originally). See Figure 4.
All wiring and electrical connections should be performed by a qualified electrician. Installation
must be in accordance with local codes and national electrical codes. If not properly grounded,
this tool can cause an electrical shock, particularly when used in damp locations, in proximity of plumbing, outdoors.
Installation of grounding plug can result in electric shock. When repair or replacement of the
cord or plug is required, 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. Never
connect green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
