Wiring Instructions _Risk Shocko.f EImlepcrtoripcearl 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 for this information. 2. The supply line should have the same electrical characteristics (voltage, cycle, phase) as the motor. Refer to the motor name- plate, 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 Shocko.f EElleeccttrriiccaall 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 requirements. Air Distribution System _Risk Plastiocf oBrurPsVtinCg. 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. The next figure represents a typical air distribution system. The following are tips to remember when setting up the air compressor's air distribution system. • Use pipe that is the same size as the air tank outlet. Piping that is too small will restrict the flow of air. • If piping is over 100 feet (30.5 m) long, use the next larger size. • Bury underground lines below the frost line and avoid pockets where condensation can gather and freeze. Apply pressure before underground lines are covered to make sure all pipe joints are free of leaks. • A flexible coupling is recommended to be installed between the air discharge outlet and main air distribution line to allow for vibration. ® A separate regulator is recommended to control the air pressure. Air pressure from the tank is usually to high for individual air driven tools. 11ENG 1000002023
