I just bought a kobalt 60 gallon air compressor, and didn't realize till I got it home that it didn't come with a plug already wired to it. . . I looked in the owners manual to try to find out what I needed, but all the manual says in regards to wiring is "get professional electrition to install wiring. . ." It doesn't look that difficult. There are 3 terminals open to use, but I just don't know which ones to use. . . I'll post some pictures of the terminal board if someone can help me it would be much appreciated. Oh, and it's a 220 hookup, not 110. It says voltage spread 208-240, so I'm assuming that means 220 is ok?
In the pic the black arrow is pointing to chasis ground, the red is pointing to one of the open lugs, the white wire from the on/off switch is attached to one of the lugs on this group, and the blue wire is pointing to the other 2 open lugs. I'm not sure what these are for, but I'm assuming they're for the pressure switch. The manual says, "on models not supplied with a power cord, the electrical power must be wired into the pressure switch by a licensed electrician."
