6. Place the (4) 3/8" lag screws through

the air compressor feet, washers,

shims, and into the anchors.

7. Torque 3/8" lag screws to 7-10 ft.-lbs

(9.5-13.5 Nm).

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

Improper electrical instal-

lation of this product may void its war-

ranty and your fire insurance. Have circuit

wiring performed by qualified personnel

such as a licensed electrician who is

familiar with the current national electrical

code and any prevailing local electrical codes.

Risk of electrical shock. Improper electrical grounding can result in

electrical shock. The wiring should be done by a qualified electrician
A qualified electrician needs to knows the following before wiring:
1. The amperage rating of the electrical box should be adequate. Refer to the

Specification Chart, in the parts manual, for this information.

2. The supply line should have the same electrical characteristics (voltage, cycle,

phase) as the motor.

Refer to the motor nameplate, on side of motor, for this

information.

NOTE: The wiring must be the same as the motor nameplate voltage plus or

minus 10%. Refer to local codes for recommended wire sizes, correct wire size,

and maximum wire run; undersize wire causes high amp draw and overheating to

the motor.

Risk of electrical shock. Electrical wiring must be located away

from hot surfaces such as manifold assembly, compressor outlet tubes, heads, or

cylinders.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product should be connected to a metallic, permanent wiring system, of an

equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the product.

VOLTAGE AND CIRCUIT PROTECTION

Refer to the specification chart for the voltage and minimum branch circuit require-

ments.

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.

AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

Plastic or PVC pipe is not designed for use with compressed

air. Regardless of its indicated pressure rating, plastic pipe can burst from air

pressure. Use only metal pipe for air distribution lines.
