Local electrical wiring codes differ from
area *,o area. So_Tce wiring, plug and
protector must be rated for at least the
amperage and voltage indicated on
your motor nameplate, and meet Jail
electrical codes for this minimum. Use a
slow blow fuse type T or a circuit
breaker.

NOTE: 120 volt. 15 amp units can be
operated on a 120 volt 1S amp circuit
under the following conditions:
1. No other electrical appliances or
lightsare connectedto the same
branchdrcuit.
2. Voltage s_ppty b normal
3. Circuit isequipped with a 15amp
circuit breaker or a 15 amp slow
blow fuse Wpe T (ForCanada use
Type D).
If the above conditions cannot be met
or if nuisance tripping of the current
protection deviceoccurs,it may be
necessaq/to operate the compressor
from a 120 volt 20 amp circuit. Some
models convert to 240 volt operation,

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1, This product must be grounded. In
the event of an electric short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current.
Unit is equipped with a cord that has
a grounding prong, tt wil_ fit one of
the common outlet types shown in
Figure 7. If plug will not fit in the
desired outlet, have the plug or the
outlet replaced by a qualified
electrician.

Improper use of grounding
plug can m_lt in I rlslk of

NOTE: DO not use grounding
adapter.
2. if repair or replacement of the cord
or plug isnecessary, do not connect
the grounding wire to either flat
blade terminal. The wire with
insulation having an outer surface
that isgreen with or without yellow
stripes is the grounding wire.
3. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not ¢ompletety
understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided; if it will not fit the outlet,
havethe proper outlet installedby
a qualified electrician.

DUAL VOLTAGE MOTORS [SOME
MODELS)
Dual voltage motors may be connected
for either t 20 volts or Z4O volts. By
comparing the plug on the cord with
the receptacles shown in Figure 7. you
can determine for which voltage your
compressor is factory wired. Also check
motor decal to change from low
voltage to high voltage.

To change connections for alternate
voltage:
1. Disconnect cord from power source
2. Remove motor terminal cover.
3. Find connection diagram on back
side of the cover or on motor
nameplate and reconnect to desired
voltage as indicated on diagram.
