Air Compressor 

Compressor (cont’d)

COMPRESSOR CONTROLS

Regulated pressure quick connect coupler: This coupler connects to the regulated

outlet pressure valve. To connect the air hose, push the coupler in. To disconnect the 

air hose, pull the coupler collar back and separate the coupling.

Electrical Power Requirements

Electrical Wiring

Refer to the air compressor’s registration label for the unit’s voltage and amperage

requirements. Use a dedicated circuit. For best performance and reliable starting, the 

air compressor must be plugged into a dedicated circuit, as close as possible to the 

fuse box or circuit breaker. The compressor will use the full capacity of a typical 

15 amp household circuit. If other devices are on the same circuit, the compressor

may fail to start. Low voltage or an overloaded circuit can result in sluggish starting

that causes the motor overload protection system circuit breaker to trip, especially in

cold conditions.

Note:

 A circuit breaker is recommended. If the air compressor is connected to a circuit

protected by a fuse, use a dual element time delay fuses (Buss Fusetron type“1”only).

Note:

 Avoid use of extension cords. If use of an extension cord is necessary, be sure to

use an extension with the correct specifications.

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 100

feet and be a minimum wire size of 14 gauge (AWG).

Compressor (cont’d)

ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS (cont’d)

This product is for use on a nominal 110 volt circuit. An outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.
Do not alter the plug to fit into a non–Ground or 2-slot receptacle.

WARNING! IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF THE GROUNDING PLUG

CAN RESULT IN THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. IF REPAIR OR
REPLACEMENT OF THE CORD OR PLUG IS NECESSARY, DO NOT

CONNECT THE GROUNDING WIRE TO THE FLAT BLADE TERMINAL.
THE WIRE INSULATION THAT HAS AN OUTER SURFACE THAT IS GREEN

GREEN WITH, OR WITHOUT, YELLOW STRIPES IS THE GROUNDING WIRE.

Extension Cord
Use the chart on the right for
the proper extension cord length.

Use only a 3-wire extension cord
that has a 3-blade grounding plug
and a 3-slot receptacle that will
accept the plug of the product. Make
sure your extension cord is in good
condition. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage as well
as a loss of power and overheating.
The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.

Grounding Instructions

This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire and 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.
