WARNING!
ALL ELECTRICAL WIRING OF THIS COMPRESSOR MUST BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY! ALL ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS MUST BE
DONE WITH THE ELECTRICAL PANEL CIRCUIT BREAKER IN THE OFF POSITION (IF HARD WIRED) OR
WITH THE POWER CORD DISCONNECTED (IF POWER CORD IS INSTALLED) FROM THE POWER
SOURCE. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Hard Wiring from Electrical Source
This compressor does not have a factory installed power cord, normally
stationary compressors are permanently hard wired directly from the
electrical source to the pressure switch (A) Fig.1 by a qualified electrician.
This compressor must be grounded, the green conductor of the cord used
must be connected to the grounding screw on the pressure switch. See
grounding information below.
Warning!
Do not attempt to hard wire this compressor yourself unless you
are a qualified electrician. Overheating, short circuiting and fire damage will
result from inadequate wiring.
Electrical wiring codes, local or provincial may differ from area to area.
Source wiring, plug and protector must be rated for at least the amperage
and voltage indicated on the main technical nameplate. Use a slow blow
fuse type D or a circuit breaker.
Installing 240V Power Cord
A properly sized 240V 3 wire power cord (2 lines, 1 ground) having a ground
conductor and plug may also be installed to the pressure switch, the green
conductor must be connected to the grounding screw on the pressure
switch. It is recommended to have the power cord installed by a qualified
electrician.
GROUNDING
This compressor must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, to reduce
the risk of electric shock.
WARNING:
IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS MACHINE CAN
CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY WHEN OPERATED IN
DAMP LOCATIONS. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF THE CORD IS WORN
OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
