GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
(FIGURE 1)
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
NOTE: This product should be grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
NOTE: 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 having an
outer surface that is green with or without yellow strips is
the grounding wire.
ELECTRICAL
Compressor
If the overload protector shuts off the motor frequently,
you may have a low voltage situation. Low voltage can
also be suspected when:
1. The motor does not get up to full power or speed.
2. Fuses or circuit breakers activate when starting compressor.
3. Lights dim or remain dim when compressor is started.
4. Other motor operated appliances fail to operate properly. Too many motor operated appliances on same
circuit.
NOTE: The motor of this compressor has a thermal overload protector. If the motor should overheat, the overload protector will shut off the motor. If this should occur,
turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position and allow
the motor to cool (approximately 5 minutes). Restart compressor. If the compressor fails to start, wait an additional
5 minutes before attempting to restart. If this fails, check
for a blown fuse on the household electric circuits. If the
unit still does not restart, the motor must be replaced.
Call your dealer immediately.
NOTE: This product is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustration in SKETCH A of FIGURE 1. A temporary adapter,
which looks like the adapter illustrated in SKETCHES B
and C, may be used to connect this plug to 2-pole receptacle as shown in SKETCH B if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be
used only until a properly grounded outlet (SKETCH A)
can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug and the like extending from the adapter
must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adapter is used, it must be held in place by the screw.
NOTE: Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman
if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly
grounded.
