INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)

Grounding

 

Improperly grounded electrical components are shock hazards. Make sure all the  

  components are properly grounded to prevent death or serious injury.

This product 

must

 be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for 

the electric current if short circuit occurs. This product must be installed and operated with a power cord or cable 
that has a grounding wire.

Breakers and Fuses

The entire electrical system should be checked by a certified electrician. Time delay breakers and fuses are 
required for this compressor. A tripped breaker or blown fuses may indicate a direct short to ground, high current 
draw, improper wiring, incorrect fuse or breaker size and/or type. This needs to be evaluated by a certified 
electrician.
