Voltage and Circuit Protection

Refer to the Parts Manual 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 is 108V-132V AC at the outlet.

2. Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs (lights, appliances,

etc.).

3. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker minimum or 15 amp time

delay fuse. NOTE: If compressor is connected to a circuit protected by

fuses, use only time delay fuses marked “D” for Canada and "T" for US.

4. Extension cords comply with specifications.

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 amp circuit. It is not necessary to change the cord set.

Extension Cords

Using extension cords is not recommended. The use of extension cords will

cause voltage to drop resulting in power loss to the motor and overheating.

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

• 14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number

decreases. 12 AWG, 10 AWG, and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT

USE 16 OR 18 AWG.)
