Risk of 
Electrical Shock. 

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.

MUST be made by a qualified 
electrician.

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 following 
illustrations). 
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.

Location of the Air Compressor

• 

Locate the air compressor in a 
clean, dry and well ventilated 
area. 

• 

The air compressor should be 
located at least 12" away from 
the wall or other obstructions that 
will interfere with the flow of air. 

• 

The air compressor pump and 
shroud are designed to allow for 
proper cooling. The ventilation 
openings on the compressor are 
necessary to maintain proper 
operating temperature. Do not 
place rags or other containers on 
or near these openings.
