Extension Cords
Using extension cords is not
recommended. The use of extension
cords will cause voltage to drop
resulting in power loss to the motor
and overheating.
Instead of using an extension cord,
increase the working reach of the air
hose by attaching
If an extension cord must be used,
be sure it is:
•
a 3-wire extension cord that has
a 3-blade grounding plug, and a
3-slot receptacle that will accept
the plug on the product
•
in good condition
•
no longer than 50 feet
•
14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire
size increases as gauge number
decreases. 12 AWG and 10
AWG may also be used. DO
NOT USE 16 OR 18 AWG.)
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the specification chart for the
voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
Risk of Unsafe
Operation. Certain
air compressors can be operated
on a 15 amp circuit if the following
conditions are met.
1. Voltage supply to circuit must
comply with the National
Electrical Code.
2. Circuit is not used to supply any
other electrical needs.
3. Extension cords comply with
specifications.
4. Circuit is equipped with a
15 amp circuit breaker or 15
amp time delay fuse.
NOTE:
If
compressor is connected to a
circuit protected by fuses, use
only time delay fuses. Time delay
fuses should be marked "D" in
Canada and "T" in the US.
If any of the above conditions
cannot be met, or if operation of
the compressor repeatedly causes
interruption of the power, it may be
necessary to operate it from a 20
amp circuit. It is not necessary to
change the cord set.
