INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION DANGER WARNING Risk of Shock. Improperly grounded motors are shock hazards. Make sure all the equipment is properly grounded. Risk of Personal Injury or Damage to Personal Property. Overheating, short circuiting and fire damage will result from inadequate wiring. WARNING WARNING Risk of Shock. All wiring and electrical connections must be performed by a qualified electrician familiar with industrial motor controls.
PAGE 11
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. Inspect the source wiring before continuing with installation. Confirm voltage with volt meter line-to-ground (see Figure 1). Volt meter should read 120 Volts. Confirm voltage with volt meter line-to-line Volt meter should read 230 / 240 Volts (see Figure 2).
PAGE 12
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 2. Remove the pressure switch cover by loosening the screw (see Figure 3). Use a Phillips screwdriver (not included). Pressure switch styles may vary. 3 Screw WARNING Risk of Shock. All wiring and electrical connections must be performed by a qualified electrician familiar with industrial motor controls. Installations must be in accordance with local and national codes. 3. Familiarize yourself with the pressure switch once cover is removed.
PAGE 13
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 4. Remove ground screw. Install strain relief on pressure switch. DO NOT tighten strain relief on power cord until wiring is complete.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM Low discharge pressure. POSSIBLE CAUSE 1. Air demand exceeds pump capacity. 2. Restricted air intake. 3. Air leaks (fittings, tubing on compressor, or plumbing outside of system). 4. Blown gaskets. 5. Leaking or damaged valves. CORRECTIVE ACTION 1. Reduce air demand or use a compressor with more capacity. 2. Clean or replace the air filter element. 3. Listen for escaping air. Apply soap solution to all fittings and connections. Bubbles will appear at points of leakage.
