ASSEMBLY
BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
If repairing or replacing cord or plug, the grounding wire
must be kept separate from the current-carrying wires.
Never connect the grounding wire to a flat blade plug ter-
minal. The grounding wire has insulation with an outer sur-
face that is green with or without yellow stripes.
If these grounding instructions are not completely under-
stood, or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is prop-
erly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified
electrician.
1. Attach the handle to the compressor saddle by inserting
the handle inside the compressor saddle and lining up
the two bolt holes on each side. Install the four screws,
two on each side. Tighten securely.
2. Install one shoulder bolt and one nut for each wheel.
Tighten securely. The compressor will sit level if the
wheels are properly installed.
3. Clean and dry underside of air tank leg opposite wheels.
Remove the protective paper strip from the adhesive
backed rubber foot strip. Attach the rubber
foot strip to
the bottom of leg. Press firmly into place.
THE WHEELS AND HANDLE DO NOT
PROVIDE ADEQUATE CLEARANCE,
STABILITY OR SUPPORT FOR
PULLING THE UNIT UP AND DOWN
STAIRS OR STEPS. THE UNIT MUST
BE LIFTED, OR PUSHED UP A RAMP.
This portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having
a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The
plug must be used with an outlet that has been installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
The outlet must have the same configuration as the plug. DO
NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if
there are signs of damage.
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT
IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Do not modify the plug that has been
provided. If it does not fit the available
outlet, the correct outlet should be
installed by a qualified technician.
Installing Wheels, Handles, Rubber
Foot Strip
Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated
area. The air filter must be kept clear of obstructions which
could reduce air delivery of the air compressor. The air com-
pressor should be located at least 12" away from the wall or
other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of fresh
intake and cooling air.
Location of the Air Compressor
This unit needs no lubrication or oiling.

Grounding Instructions
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. In the
event of a short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of shock by provid-
ing an escape wire for the electric
current. This air compressor must be
properly grounded.
