GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. In the event of a short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric current. This air compressor must be
properly grounded.
The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug (see illustrations). The plug must be
used with an outlet that has been installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
1.
The cord set and plug with this unit contains a
grounding pin. This plug MUST be used with a
grounded outlet.
IMPORTANT:
The outlet being used must be
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
2.
Make sure the outlet being used has the same
configuration as the grounded plug.
DO NOT
USE AN ADAPTER.
When used outside of the United
States of America a conversion kit may be required for
local use.
3.
Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are signs
of damage.
4.
If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded, have the
installation checked by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL
SHOCK.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, a
correct outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician.
Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified electrician.

Extension Cords
Using extension cords is not recommended. The use of extension cords will
cause voltage to drop resulting in power loss to the motor and overheating.
Instead of using an extension cord, increase the working reach of the air hose
by attaching another length of hose to its end. Attach additional lengths of
hose as needed.
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
•
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
•
in good condition
•
no longer than 50 feet
•
14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number
decreases. 12 AWG, 10 AWG, and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT
USE 16 OR 18 AWG.)
