Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the Voltage and Minimum Branch Circuit Requirements
under Pump/Motor Specifications.
CAUTION: Certain air compressors can be operated on a
15 amp circuit if the following conditions are met.
• Voltage supply to circuit must comply with the National
Electrical Code.
• Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs.
• Extension cords comply with specifications.
• Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp
time delay fuse. NOTE: If compressor is connected to a cir-
cuit 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.
Compatibility
NOTE: Always use an air line filter to remove moisture and oil vapor
when spraying paint.
Location
Place the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area
at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from the wall or other obstructions that
will interfere with the flow of air. Keep the compressor away from
areas that have dirt and/or volatile fumes in the atmosphere. These
impurities may clog the intake filter and valves, causing inefficient
operation.
WARNING: The air compressor pump and shroud are designed
to allow for proper cooling. The ventilation openings on the com-
pressor are necessary to maintain proper operating temperature.
Do not place rags or other containers on or near these openings.
Place the air compressor on a flat surface resting on the rubber
feet and wheels.
ELECTRICAL
Refer to all safety instructions before using unit. Observe extension
cord safety instructions if necessary. Always move the On/Auto/Off
switch (A) to the OFF position before removing the plug from the
outlet.
TRANSPORTING
When transporting the compressor in a vehicle, trailer, etc., make
sure the tank is drained and the unit is secured with straps to prevent
tipping. Use care when driving to prevent tipping the unit over in the
vehicle. Damage can occur to the compressor or surrounding items
if the compressor is tipped.
LIFTING
Always use two people when lifting and lift
N
N
from the recommended lift points (N). DO
NOT lift by wheels or shroud.
MOVING
CAUTION: The wheels and handle do not
provide adequate clearance, stability, or sup-
port for pulling the unit up and down stairs or
steps. The unit must be lifted or pushed up a
ramp.
1. Grasp handle of compressor and tilt com-
pressor back to rest on wheels.
WARNING: Risk of Unsafe Operation. Ensure proper footing and
use caution when rolling compressor so that unit does not tip or
cause loss of balance.
