WARNING:  Risk  of  unsafe  operation. Firmly  grasp  hose  in  hand 

when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
  1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 psi.
  2. Push  coupler  on  quick  connect  body  back  to  release  quick 

connect plug on hose.

230 Volt Conversion

To operate the compressor at 230 volts replace the

 

115  volt  plug  supplied  on  the  motor  cord  with  a 
UL/ CSA  listed  plug  suitable  for  230  volts  and  the 
rated  amps  of  the  compressor,  see  Motor 
Specifications 
at the beginning of this manual. A 230 
volt plug as shown in the diagram may be purchased 
at a local hardware or electrical supply store. 
  1. Follow  the  plug  manu facturer  installation

IMPortAnt: The  compressor  must  comply  with  all  local  and 
national electrical codes after the 230 volt plug is installed.

WARNING:  Ensure  the  230  volt  cord  plug  end  is  properly 

connected before operating in 230 volt mode.
  2. Remove the pin on the 115/230 dual voltage

control switch.

  3. Move  the  115/230  dual  voltage  control 

switch (N) to the 230 volt position.

  4. Replace the pin.

CAUTION: Once the unit has been converted 

to  230  volts  the  115/230  dual  control  switch 
can not be placed in the 115 volt position until 
the  cord  plug  is  replaced  with  a  
UL/CSA  listed  cord  plug  suitable 

for  115  volts  and  the  rated  amps  of  the  compressor,  See  Motor 
Specifications.

WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you read and understand 

this  instruction  manual  for  safety,  operation  and  maintenance 
instructions.

Grounding Instructions

WARNING:  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. 
  1. The cord set and plug (P) with this unit 

Q

115V

P

O

contains a grounding pin (Q). This plug 
Must be  used  with  a  grounded 
outlet (O). 

IMPortAnt: The outlet being used must 
be  installed  and  grounded  in  accordance 
with all local codes and ordinances. 
  2. Ensure the outlet being used has the 

230V

O

P

Q

same  configuration  as  the  grounded 
plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.

  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.

DANGER:  Risk  of  electrical  shock.  IMPROPER  GROUNDING 

CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
