HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT

Location of the Air Compressor

• 

Locate the air compressor in a 

clean, dry and well ventilated 

area. 

• 

The air compressor should be 

located at least 12" (30.5 cm) 

away from the wall or other 

obstructions that will interfere 

with the flow of air. 

• 

The air compressor pump and 

shroud are designed to allow for 

proper cooling. The ventilation 

openings on the compressor are 

necessary to maintain proper 

operating temperature. Do not 

place rags or other containers on 

or near these openings.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Risk of Electrical 

Shock.  In the event 

of a short circuit, grounding reduces 

the risk of shock by providing an 

escape wire for the electric current. 

This air compressor must be 

properly grounded.

The portable air compressor is 

equipped with a cord having a 

grounding wire with an appropriate 

grounding plug (see following 

illustrations). 
1.  The cord set and plug with this 

unit contains a grounding pin. 

This plug MUST be used with a 

grounded outlet. 

IMPORTANT: 

The outlet being used 

must be installed and grounded in 

accordance with all local codes and 

ordinances. 

2.  Make sure the outlet being used 

has the same configuration as the 

grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN 

ADAPTER. See illustration.

3.  Inspect the plug and cord before 

each use.  Do not use if there are 

signs of damage.

4.  If these grounding instructions are 

not completely understood, or if in 

doubt as to whether the compres-

sor is properly grounded, have the 

installation checked by a qualified 

electrician.

Risk of Electrical 

Shock. IMPROPER 

GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN 

eLeCTriCAL sHOCk.
Do not modify the plug provided. If 

it does not fit the available outlet, a 

correct outlet should be installed by 

a qualified electrician.
Repairs to the cord set or plug 

MUST be made by a qualified elec-

trician.
