Installation
LOCATION
It is extremely important to install the
compressor in a clean, well ventilated area
where the surrounding air temperature
will not be more than 100°F.
A minimum clearance of 18 inches between
the compressor and a wall is required
because objects could obstruct air flow.
Do not locate the
compressor air inlet
near steam, paint spray, sandblast areas
or any other source of contamination. This
debris will damage the motor
Household use only. Store indoors.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
1. Check and tighten all bolts, fittings,
etc., before operating compressor.
2. Operate compressor in a ventilated
area so that compressor may be
properly cooled.
3. Compressor should be located where
it can be directly plugged into an
outlet, but if this is not possible, an
extension cord may be used. It should
be selected using the extension cord
chart on page 3 as a guide.
4. To avoid loss of power and
overheating, it is better to use
additional air hose instead of
extension cords to reach work area.
WIRING
1. Local electrical wiring codes
differ from area to area. Source
wiring, plug and protector must
be rated for at least the amperage
and voltage indicated on motor
nameplate, and meet all electrical
codes for this minimum .
2. Use a slow blow fuse type T or a
circuit breaker.
overheating, short
circuiting and fire
damage will result from inadequate
wiring, etc.
All wiring and
electrical
connections should be performed by a
qualified electrician. installation must
be in accordance with local codes and
national electrical codes.
NOTE:
120 volt, compressor can be
operated on a 120 volt, 15 amp circuit
under the following conditions:
a. No other electrical appliances or
lights are connected to the same
branch circuit.
b. Voltage supply is normal.
c. Extension cords are of the
minimum gauge specified in this
instruction manual.
d. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp
circuit breaker or a 15 amp slow
blow fuse type T.
3. If above conditions cannot be met
or if nuisance tripping of current
protection device occurs, it may be
necessary to operate compressor
from a 120 volt, 20 amp circuit.
