CAUTION:
The use of an extension cord with this product is not recommended as this
can result in the loss of power to your air compressor which can prevent the motor from
starting or running properly. This can also cause your fuse to blow or circuit breaker to
trip. Running your air compressor on an undersized extension cord will cause permanent
damage to internal switches and overheating of the electric motor. Use an additional
length of air hose rather than an extension cord.
If you must use an extension cord, it should be plugged into a GFCI found in circuit boxes
or protected receptacles. Use only UL listed 3-wire extension cords that have a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. Refer to the guide for
minimum gauge required for extension cords.
Important Operating Instructions
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These cords are identified by
a marking “ACCEPTIBLE FOR OUTDOOR APPLIANCES, STORE INDOORS WHEN
NOT IN USE.” Examine extension cord before use. DO NOT USE DAMAGED
EXTENSION CORDS. Do not pull on cord to disconnect from receptacle; always
disconnect by pulling on plug. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always shut
OFF the air compressor AUTO/ON pressure switch before unplugging the compressor.
Always disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the
product from the extension cord.
WARNING:
Avoid electrical shock hazard. Never use this compressor with a
damaged or frayed electrical cord or extension cord. Inspect all electrical cords
regularly. Never use in or near water or in any environment where electric shock is
possible. To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the
ground. Do not touch the plug with wet hands.
