WARNING! Never connect green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
3. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if grounding instructions air not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether product is properly grounded.
Do not modify plug provided; if it will not fit outlet, have proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
WARNING!
4. 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.
5. Use a slow blow fuse or a circuit breaker.
EXTENSION CORDS
To avoid voltage drop, power loss, and overheating of the motor, use extra air hose instead of an
extension cord. Low voltage can cause damage to the motor.
If an extension cord must be used:
• Use only an approved 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a
3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the air compressor.
• Make sure the extension cord is in good condition.
Please see the chart below for the MINIMUM extension cord gauge requirements:
