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 another length

of hose to its end. Attach additional

lengths of hose as needed.

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 Opertion.

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.
