Wiring Instructions 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. A qualified electrician needs to knows the following before wiring: 1. The amperage rating of the electrical box should be adequate. Refer to the Specifications, 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 used must be rated for 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. 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 WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. In the event of a short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This air compressor must be properly grounded.

If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electrician. DANGER: Risk of electrical shock. IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK. • Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, a correct outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician. • Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified electrician.
