ELECTRICAL - 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

compressor off immediately and allow the

motor to cool. Check the circuit breakers, they

may need to be reset.

Restart the compressor. If the compressor fails

to start, the compressor may need to cool

further. If the overload protector shuts the

motor off frequently, you may have a low

voltage situation. Low voltage can be

suspected when:

1. The motor does not achieve full power or

speed.

2. Fuses or circuit breakers activate when

starting the compressor.

3. Lights dim when the compressor is started.

4. Other electrical appliances fail to operate

properly.

5. Compressor shakes or hesitates when

starting.

A primary cause of voltage drop is using an

extension cord that is not heavy enough to

carry the current the AA-98 compressor draws.

An under size or over-length extension cord will

cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of

power and overheating. Always use a heavy

gauge 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade

grounding plug.
