WARNiNg!

ALL ELECTRICAL WIRING OF THIS COMPRESSOR MUST BE DONE BY

A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. 

FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY! ALL

ADJUSTMENTS OR REPAIRS MUST BE DONE WITH THE ELECTRICAL

PANEL CIRCUIT BREAKER IN THE OFF POSITION (IF HARD WIRED) OR

WITH THE POWER CORD DISCONNECTED (IF POWER CORD IS

INSTALLED) FROM THE POWER SOURCE. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY

RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY!

hard Wiring from Electrical Source

This  compressor  does  not  have  a  factory  installed  power  cord,  normally

stationary  compressors  are  permanently  hard  wired  directly  from  the

electrical source to the magnetic switch (A) Fig.1 by a qualified electrician.

This compressor must be grounded, the green conductor of the cord used

must be connected to the grounding screw inside the magnetic switch. See

grounding information below.

Warning!

Do not attempt to hard wire this compressor yourself unless you

are a qualified electrician. Overheating, short circuiting and fire damage will

result from inadequate wiring.

Electrical  wiring  codes,  local  or  provincial  may  differ  from  area  to  area.

Source wiring, plug and protector must be rated for at least the amperage

and voltage indicated on the main technical nameplate. Use a slow blow

fuse type D or a circuit breaker.

installing 240V power cord

A properly sized 240V 3 wire power cord (2 lines, 1 ground) having a ground

conductor and plug may also be installed to the magnetic switch, the green

conductor must be connected to the grounding screw in themagnetic switch.

It is recommended to have the power cord installed by a qualified electrician.

Refer to Fig.2 for power cord wiring diagram.

gRouNDiNg

This compressor must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,

grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, to reduce

the risk of electric shock. 

WARNiNg:

IF  NOT  PROPERLY  GROUNDED,  THIS  MACHINE  CAN

CAUSE  ELECTRICAL  SHOCK,  PARTICULARLY  WHEN  OPERATED  IN

DAMP LOCATIONS. TO AVOID SHOCK OR FIRE, IF THE CORD IS WORN

OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, HAVE IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
