English temperature changes. Two signs of excessive humidity are external condensation on the pump when it cools down and a "milky" appearance in compressor oil. You may be able to prevent moisture from forming in the pump by increasing ventilation or operating for longer intervals. Electrical Wiring WARNING: Improper electrical installation of this product may void its warranty 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. WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. Improper electrical grounding can result in electrical shock. The wiring should be done by a qualified electrician. Refer to the air compressor's specification label for the unit's voltage and amperage requirements. For best performance and reliable starting, the air compressor must be plugged into a dedicated circuit, as close as possible to the fuse box or circuit breaker. The compressor will use the full capacity of a typical 15 amp household circuit. If any other electrical devices are drawing from the compressor's circuit, the compressor may fail to start. Low voltage or an overloaded circuit can result in sluggish starting that causes the motor overload protection system or circuit breaker to trip, especially in cold conditions. NOTE: A circuit breaker is recommended. If the air compressor is connected to a circuit protected by a fuse, use only time delay fuses. WARNING: 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 1. This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. WARNING: Improper installation of the grounding plug is able to result in a risk of electric shock. When repair or replacement of the cord or plug is required, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire 2. Substitution of the signal word "DANGER" for "WARNING" is not prohibited when the risk associated with the product is such that a situation exists which if not avoided will result in death or serious injury. 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 3. This product is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and has a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in the figure. Only connect the product to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this product. 13
