HOW TO SET UP YOUR
UNIT

Location of the inflator

Locate the inflator in a clean, dry and
well ventilated area. The inflator

pump and housing are designed to
allow for proper cooling. The

ventilation openings on the inflator
are necessary to maintain proper
operating temperature. Do not place
rags or other containers on or near
these openings.

To Remove Inflator from Carton

1. Grasp handle and lift the inflator
out of the carton.

2. Remove all packaging from
inflator and discard.

1. The cord set and plug with this
unit contains a grounding pin.
This plug MUST be used with a
grounded outlet.

IMPORTANT: The outlet being used
must be installed and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.

2.

Make sure the outlet being used
has the same configuration as
the grounded plug. DO NOT

USE AN ADAPTER. See
illustration.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Risk of Electrical
Shock. In the

event of a short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of shock by

providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This inflator must

be properly grounded.

The inflator is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with an

appropriate grounding plug (see
following illustrations). The plug must

be used with an outlet that has been
installed and grounded in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances.

Pin

3.

Inspect the plug and cord before
each use. Do not use if there are

signs of damage.

4.

If these grounding instructions
are not completely understood,

or if in doubt as to whether the
inflator is properly grounded,

have the installation checked by
a qualified electrician.

9-ENG D30502

_'_I Risk of Electrical

Shock. IMPROPER

GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

Do not modify the plug provided. If
it does not fit the available outlet, a

correct outlet should be installed
by a qualified electrician.
Repairs to the cord set or plug

MUST be made by a qualified
electrician.

Extension Cords

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
16 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.

Certain inflators can be operated on a

15 amp circuit if the following
conditions are met.

1. Voltage supply through branch
circuit is 15 amps.

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

3. Extension cords comply with
specifications.

4.

Circuit is equipped with a 15
amp circuit breaker or 15 amp
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
amp circuit. It is not necessary to

change the cord set.
