MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS AND ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS (CONTINUED)
Extension Cords
1. The air compressor should be located where it can be directly plugged into an outlet. Although
extension cord is not recommended, if you must use only a 3 wire extension cord that has a 3 blade
grounding plug and a 3 slot receptacle that accepts the plug on the product. When using an extension
cord be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current the product draws.
2. To avoid loss of power and overheating, additional air hose must be used to reach work area instead of
extension cords.

120 volt, 60Hz Information
The plug supplied on your compressor may not fit into the outlet you are planning to use. Your local
electrical code may require slightly different power cord plug connections. If these differences exist refer to
and make the proper adjustments per your local code before your compressor is plugged in and turned on.
Plugs and Receptacles
1. If the plug on the electrical cord of the unit is unfamiliar to you or will not fit your particular receptacle, Figure
2 will help you understand why by illustrating the different plugs and the voltages they are to be used with.
2. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
3. The receptacles must be connected to circuits rated to carry at least the voltage and amperages shown.
4. NEVER have a receptacle replaced with one of a higher amperage before determining the change can
be made according to all electrical codes affecting your particular area. The installation should be made
by a qualified electrician. If the products must be reconnected for use on different types of circuits, the
re-connection should be made by qualified personnel.
Electrical Installation
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.
3. This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Figure 2.
Make sure the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. This product
must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electrical shock by
providing an escape wire for electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire
with an appropriate grounding plug. Plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Overheating, short circuiting and fire damage will result from inadequate wiring.
Overheating, short circuiting and fire damage will result from inadequate wiring.
All wiring and electrical connections should be performed by a qualified electrician. Installation must be in
accordance with local codes and national elecrical codes.
