Extension Cords

Using extension cords is not recom-

mended. The use of extension cords

will cause voltage to drop resulting in

power loss to the motor and over-

heating.

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

12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire

size increases as gauge number

decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG

may also be used. DO NOT USE

14 OR 16 AWG.)

Voltage and Circuit Protection

Refer to the specification chart for the

voltage and minimum branch circuit

requirements.

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 com-

pressor repeatedly causes interrup-

tion of the power, it may be necessary

to operate it from a 20 amp circuit. It

is not necessary to change the cord

set.
