Closely follow instructions packaged with the filter for proper installation. It must be installed as close
as possible to the accessory.
The air compressor should be as near to air outlets as possible in order to avoid long pipe lines. Do
not place the air compressor where heat is excessive.
Do not use an extension cord. To avoid voltage drop and power loss to the motor, use extra air hose
instead of an extension cord.
Wiring Instructions
Perform electrical wiring according to the following instructions:
WARNING: Improper electrical groun ing can result in a risk of electrical shock. Wiring for the
pressure switch AND electrical motor shoul be one by a license electrician in accor ance
with national an local co es an or inances.
Install the air compressor unit as close to the main power supply as possible. This practice will avoid
using long lengths of electrical wiring for the power supply which can cause power loss to the motor.
When connecting wires make sure that:
. The amperage rating of the electrical box is adequate.
2. The supply line has the same electrical characteristics (voltage, cycle, and phase) as motor.
Refer to the Specification Chart or your air compressor unit.
NOTE: THESE UNITS DO NOT INCLUDE ANY WIRING BECAUSE OF VARIOUS INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENTS.
Voltage an Circuit Protection
Refer to the Specifications for the voltage and circuit protection requirements of your air
compressor. Use only a fuse or circuit breaker that is the same rating as the branch circuit
on which the air compressor is operated. If the air compressor is connected to a circuit
protected by fuses, use only dual element time delay fuses, as noted in the Specifications.
WARNING: This pro uct shoul be connecte to a groun e , metallic, permanent
wiring system, or an equipment-groun ing terminal or lea on the pro uct.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! In the event of a short circuit, groun ing re uces
the risk of shock by provi ing an escape wire for the electric current. This air compressor
must be properly groun e .
DANGER: Improper groun ing can result in electrical shock! All groun ing shoul be
performe by a license electrician in accor ance with national an local electrical co es!
Make certain that the electrical circuit to which the air compressor is connected provides proper
electrical grounding, correct voltage and adequate fuse protection.
The air compressor can be grounded by the following method:
When hard wiring an air compressor, use wiring that contains a bare copper grounding wire. This wire
must be connected to the pressure switch at the grounding location provided. This is located inside
the pressure switch. The other end of the wire must be connected to a ground at the fuse/circuit
breaker box in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the
air compressor is properly grounded, have the installation checked by an Authorized Warranty
Service Center or a licensed electrician.
