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). The plug must
be used with an outlet that has been installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
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 compressor is
properly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electrician.
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 electrician.
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" 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.The air filter must
be kept clear of obstructions which could reduce air flow to the air compressor.
