Steve, can I install a 30amp dryer type chord on the Puma 3040 and utilize a 30 amp 240 volt outlet?

Answer
Any alteration to the wiring of the unit will void the Factory Warranty, and could present a safety issue- we don't recommend it.
You can sort Puma's Two-Stage Lineup for the voltage and phase you need.
You could also give the folks at Puma a call at (901) 744-7979 for advice on any adaptions you are planning.

Does this compressor come ready to plug in or do you have to wire it in?
Greg

Answer
This compressor, like most stationary air compressors, does not come with a power cord. They are normally hard wired directly to the electrical panel. We do recommend adding a pressure regulator so that the pressure can be adjusted to the psi of your air tools. There is a manual drain on the bottom of the tank so that accumulated water can be emptied.

What is the noise level in decibles?
Charlie

Answer
I combed through the manual & spec sheet we have listed under the Specs tab, and I also checked the Puma website- they aren't listing a decibel level for this unit.
You might want to give them a call at (901) 744-7979 to see if they have that information available.
Be sure to ask how far away from the compressor the measurement was taken- usually it's about 3 feet, but there isn't a hard and fast rule. Standing farther away reduces the dBA level.
