Refer to the air compressor’s serial label for the unit’s
voltage and amperage requirements.
NOTE:
Avoid use of extension cords.
For optimum performance, plug the compressor power
cord directly into a grounded wall socket. Do not use an
extension cord unless absolutely necessary. Instead, use a
longer air hose to reach the area where the air is needed.
If use of an extension cord cannot be avoided, the cord
should be no longer than 50 feet and be a minimum wire size of
12 gauge (AWG). Do not use a 16 or 14 gauge extension cord.
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. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage,
resulting in loss of power and overheating. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
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. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinance.
Improper installation of the grounding
plug can 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 insulation having an outer surface
that is green with or without yellow stripes is the
grounding wire.
This product is for use on a nominal 115 volt circuit. A cord
with a grounding plug, as shown here, shall be used.
Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug (see
Figure 1
). No
adapter should be used with this product.
Check with a licensed electrician if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided;
if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
licensed electrician.
