Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a circuit having a nominal
rating of 120 volts and is factory-equipped with a
specific electric cord and plug to permit connection
to a proper electric circuit.
Make sure the product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug.
An adapter should not be used with this product.
If the product must be reconnected for use on a
different type of electric circuit, qualified service
personnel should make the reconnection.
Extension Cords
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will
accept the plug on the product. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. Cords must
not exceed 25 ft. and No. 12 AWG size must be
used. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Break In Procedures
No break in procedure is required by the user.
This product is factory tested to ensure proper
operation and performance.
The air compressor should be turned off, unplugged
from the power source, the air bled from the tank
and the unit allowed time to cool before any
maintenance is performed. Personal injuries could
occur from moving parts, electrical sources,
compressed air or hot surfaces. The quick connect
assembly must be attached before use. Failure to
assemble correctly could result in leaks and possible
injury. If unsure of assembly instructions or you
experience difficulty in assembly, take the unit to a
qualified service dealer for assistance.
Getting Started - Location of the Air Compressor
The air compressor should always be located in a
clean, dry and well ventilated environment. The unit
should have at minimum, 12 in. of space on
each side.
Risk Of Fire Or Explosion
This product incorporates snap action switch
contacts and a universal electric motor which tend
to produce arcs and sparking and therefore should
not be exposed to flammable liquids or vapors.
This product is not intended for installation or use in
a commercial garage or shop environment.
Grounding Instructions
This product should 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.
(See the figure at top right corner.) The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. Check with a qualified electrician
or service personnel if these instructions are not
completely understood or if in doubt as to whether
the tool is properly grounded.
Improper installation of the grounding plug will result
in a risk of electric shock. 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. Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether
this product is properly grounded.
