Installation (Continued)
Improper use of grounding plug
can result in a possible risk of
electrical shock!
Do not use a grounding adapter
with this product!
2� If repair or replacement of cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect grounding wire to either flat blade terminal� The wire
with insulation having an external surface that is green (with
or without yellow stripes) is the grounding wire�
Never connect green (or green and yellow)
wire to a live terminal.
3� Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if grounding
instructions are 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�
WIRING
1� 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�
2� Use a slow blow fuse or a circuit breaker�
Glossary of Terms / Getting to Know your Compressor
Pressure Switch - AUTO/OFF Switch -
In the AUTO position, the compressor
shuts off automatically when tank
pressure reaches the maximum preset
pressure� In the OFF position, the
compressor will not operate� This switch
should be in the OFF position when
connecting or disconnecting the power
cord from the electrical outlet or when
changing air tools�
Regulator - The regulator controls the
amount of air pressure released at the
hose outlet�
Discharge Tube - This tube carries
compressed air from the pump to the
check valve� This tube becomes very hot
during use� To avoid the risk of severe
burns, never touch the discharge tube�
ASME Safety Valve - This valve
automatically releases air if the tank
pressure exceeds the preset maximum�
Check Valve - One-way valve that allows
air to enter the tank, but prevents air
in the tank from flowing back into the
compressor pump�
Tank Drain - This valve is located on
the bottom of the tank� Use this valve
to drain moisture from the tank daily to
reduce the risk of corrosion�
Reduce tank pressure below 10 psi by
pulling the safety valve, then drain
moisture from tank� Drain daily to avoid
tank corrosion�
