Grounding
This product is equipped with a cord that has
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 ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided; if it does not
fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
Power Supply
For best performance and reliable starting,
the air compressor must be plugged into a
dedicated circuit, as close as possible to the
fusebox or circuit breaker. The compressor
will use the full capacity of a typical 15 amp
household circuit.
If connected to a circuit protected by fuses,
use time-delay fuses with this product.
Extension Cords
NOTE: Avoid use of extension cords if
possible.
For optimum performance, plug compressor
power cord directly into a grounded wall
socket. Do not use an extension cord unless
absolute necessary. Instead, use a longer air
hose to reach the area where the air is
needed.
If an extension cord is necessary, use 12
AWG (2.5 mm
2
) minimum, 50 feet maximum
length.
The equipment must be grounded to
reduce the risk of static sparking and
electric shock. An electric or static spark
can cause fumes to ignite or explode. An
improper ground can cause electric shock.
A good ground provides an escape wire for
the electric current.
