Extension Cords
NOTE: USE EXTRA AIR HOSE INSTEAD OF
AN EXTENSION CORD TO AVOID VOLTAGE
DROP AND POWER LOSS TO THE MOTOR.
IF AN EXTENSION CORD MUST BE USED,
BE SURE IT IS:
y 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
y in good condition
y no longer than 30 feet
y 14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size
increases as gauge number
decreases. 14, 12, 10, and 8 AWG
may also be used.
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the specification chart for the
voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
Risk of Unsafe
Operation. Certain air
compressors can be operated on a 15
A 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 A
circuit breaker or 15 A
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 A circuit. It is not necessary to
change the cord set. Please contact a
qualified technician.
