INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
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. Make sure your extension cord is not damaged. When using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your product draws. For lengths less than 25 ft. 12-3 AWG extension
cords shall be used. An undersized cord results in a drop in the voltage and loss of power and overheating.
(NOTICE: Table below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length. When in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.)
Use of an extension cord may cause excess heat to motor. This could lead to tripped breaker (at electrical panel)
or tripped thermal overload (on compressor motor). If this occurs, eliminate extension cord and plug compressor
directly into electrical outlet. Avoid using extension cords; use longer air hose(s) instead.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman when the grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or when in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided; if it does not fit
the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Only connect the product to an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this product.
