manual abstract
Your tool is wired at the factory for operation using the voltage shown. Connect tool to a power line with the appropriate voltage and a 15amp branch circuit. Use a 15amp time delay type fuse or circuit breaker. To reduce the risk of shock or fire, if power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately. The A-C motor used on this compressor is a PSC, permanent split capacitor type, having the following specification. It is wired at the factory for operation on 110V-120V AC, 60 Hz service. Voltage 110-120 Amperes 15 Hertz (Cycles) 60 Phase Single RPM 3450 General Electrical Connections ! DANGER: To reduce the risk of electrocution: 1. Use only identical replacement parts when servicing. Servicing should be performed by a qualified technician. 2. Do not use in rain or where floor is wet. This too is intended for indoor residential use only. ! WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of plug when installing or removing the plug to or from the outlet. 7 Motor Specifications and Electrical Requirements (continued) 110-120 volt, 60Hz Tool Information The plug supplied on your tool may not fit into the outlet you are planning to use. Your local electrical code may require slightly different power cord plug connections. If these differences exist refer to and make the proper adjustments per you local code before your tool is plugged in and turned on. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, as shown. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded check with a qualified electrician or service personnel. ! WARNING: If not properly grounded, this tool can cause an electrical shock, particularly when used in damp locations, in proximity of plumbing, or out of doors. Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. 3-Prong Plug Properly Grounded 3-Prong Outlet Grounding Prong Extension Cords 1. The air compressor should be located where it can be directly plugged into an outlet. An extension cord should not be used with this unit. 2. To avoid loss of power and overheating, additional air hose must be used to reach work area instead of extension cords. 8 Thermal Overload Protector ! CAUTION: This compressor is equipped with an automatic reset thermal overload protector which will shut off motor if it becomes overheated. If thermal overload protector shuts motor OFF frequently look for the following causes. 1. Low voltage. 2. Wrong gauge wire. 3. Dirty air filter. 4. Lack of proper ventilation. Glossary of Terms ASME Safety Valve A safety valve that automatically releases the air if the air receiver (tank) pressure exceeds the preset maximum. PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) Measurement of the pressure exerted by the force of the air. The actual psi output is measured by a pressure gauge on the compressor SCFM (Standard Cubic Feet per Minute) Sometimes called CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute). Measurement of air volume delivered by the compressor. Air Delivery A combination of psi and SCFM. The air delivery required by a tool is stated as (number) SCFM at (number) psi. The combination of these figures determines what size unit is needed. Air Tank Capacity The volume of air stored in the tank and available for immediate use. A large tank allows the intermittent use of an air tool with an air requirement higher than the compressor’s rated delivery. 5. Unit is being used with an extension cord. 6. Low oil level See Troubleshooting Chart for corrective action. ! CAUTION: The motor must be allowed to cool down before start-up is possible. The motor will automatically restart without warning if left plugged into electrical outlet, and the motor is turned on. Volts or Voltage A measurement of the force of an electrical current. Amps or Amperage A measure of the electrical force minus the resistance on an electrical line. Ridgid air compressors require 15 amps for operation. Be sure the compressor will operate on an electrical line with the proper amps. If other appliances operate on the same line, they will reduce the available amps. If the amperage is not adequate, the result will be blown fuses or tripped circuits. Regulator A con...
