Your safety and the safety of others
c
Disconnect electrical power at the circuit breaker
or fuse box before installing this product.
Install this product where it will not come into
contact with water or other liquids.
Install this product where it will be weather
protected.
Electrically ground this product.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire or electrical shock.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
is extremely important.
We have provided many important safety messages in
this manual and on your product. Always read and
bey all safety messages.
o
Correct installation is your responsibility. Make sure you
have the proper installation conditions and that
installation clearances do not block air flow.
Blocking air flow over the product in any way can cause
the product to overheat.
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol
alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and
thers. The safety alert symbol and the words
o
“DANGER” and “WARNING” will precede all safety
messages. These words mean:
DANGER

instructions.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you
how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what
can happen if the safety instructions are not followed.
INSTALLATION
be killed or seriously injured if you donʼt follow
Mounting
Mounting the product to a stable, rigid operating surface
and using shock mounts will reduce noise and vibration.
Plumbing
Remove plugs from the IN and OUT ports. Connect
ith pipe and fittings that are the same size or larger
w
than the productʼs threaded ports. Be sure to connect
the intake and exhaust plumbing to the correct inlet and
outlet ports. Ports will not support plumbing.
Accessories
Install gauges in the lines to monitor performance. A
relief valve can be installed at the inlet or outlet, or both.
Consult a Gast representative for performance limitations.
If operated in a dirt-contaminated atmosphere, a suitable
filter should be used to ensure long service. For
recommendations, contact a Gast representative.
Motor Control
It is your responsibility to contact a qualified
electrician and assure that the electrical installation is
adequate and in conformance with all national and local
codes and ordinances. The metal capacitor must be
grounded.
Determine the correct overload setting required to
protect the motor (see motor starter manufacturerʼs
recommendations). Select fuses, motor protective
switches or thermal protective switches to provide
protection. Fuses act as short circuit protection for the
motor, not as protection against overload. Incoming line
fuses must be able to withstand the motorʼs starting
current. Motor starters with thermal magnetic overload
or circuit breakers protect motor from overload or
reduced voltage conditions.
The wiring diagram supplied with the product provides
required electrical information. Check that power
source is correct to properly operate the dual-voltage
motors.
Electrical Connection
c
This product must be properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not
fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the grounding wire
to either flat blade terminal. The wire with
insulation that is green or green with yellow
stripes is the grounding wire.
Check the condition of the power supply wiring.
Do not permanently connect this product to
wiring that is not in good condition or is
inadequate for the requirements of this product.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire or electrical shock.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Grounded Plug
Grounding Pin
Grounded Outlet
120-volt grounded connectors
shown. 220/240-volt grounded
connectors will differ in shape.
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. This product may
be equipped with a power supply cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Model with a power supply cord:
This product must be grounded. For either 120-volt or
220/240-volt circuits connect power supply cord
grounding plug to a matching grounded outlet. Do not
use an adapter. (See above diagram.)
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if you are not sure whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not
fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Model that is permanently wired:
This product must be connected to a grounded,
metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment
grounding terminal or lead on the product.
Power supply wiring must conform to all required safety
codes and be installed by a qualified person. Check
that supply voltage agrees with that listed on product
nameplate.
Extension cords:
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug. Connect extension cord plug to a
matching 3-slot receptacle. Do not use an adapter.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
Check that the gage wire of the extension cord is the
correct size wire to carry the current this product will
draw.
An undersized cord is a potential fire hazard, and will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power
causing the product to overheat. The following table
indicates the correct size cord for length required and
the ampere rating listed on the product nameplate. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gage cord. The smaller the
gage number, the heavier the wire gage.
