Snap on compressor

How do I wire my snap on compressor 220 when it has a 110 plug on it

What's the motor horsepower?

 

[sweetk30]

and is it a 110/220 unit and currently wires for the 110 side of the motor ?

Is it a dual voltage motor? You need to check the motor plate for the specs.

Voltage is set by the motor wiring, typically inside a box on the motor if it's a big motor, or by removing a sheet metal plate on the back if its a smaller motor. The side of the motor, near the data plate that tells you manufacturer, HP, usually has the wiring diagram. If not, it should be inside the cover where the wiring is done. Attached is an example of a wiring diagram from an old GE motor. Do not follow this for your motor, but look for similar. Also note if the motor is reversible that get the right direction CW/CCW. Determine what direction its running currently and set it the same way. Usually involves swapping a lead if necessary.

Sam's Club seems to be selling a bunch of these, so it could be this model.

If so, it is a 2HP and I suspect may be 120VAC only, but I saw nothing on the description.

The model the OP references is a 120/240 volt unit.

OP -- Go to Snap-On's site and do an on-line chat. Ask for a new manual. If they don't have it for download, they'll mail it. Been there, done that.
