    SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS This manual contains information that is important for you to know and understand. This information relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this information, we use the symbols below. Please read the manual and pay attention to these symbols.
  • Page 3 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Improper operation or maintenance of this product could result in serious injury and property damage. Read and understand all warnings and operation instructions before using this equipment. WARNING: Risk of explosion or fire What Could Happen It is normal for electrical contacts within the motor and pressure switch to spark.
  • Page 4 WARNING: Risk of Bursting Air Tank: The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the tank, and result in a violent tank explosion and could cause property damage or serious injury. What Could Happen WARNING: Risk from Flying Objects The compressed air stream can cause soft tissue damage to exposed skin and can propel dirt, chips, loose...
  • Page 5 WARNING: Risk of Electrical Shock What Could Happen Your air compressor is powered by electricity. Like any other electrically powered device, If it is not used properly it may cause electric shock. Repairs attempted by unqualified personnel can result in serious injury or death by electrocution.
  • Page 6 WARNING: Risk of Burns Touching exposed metal such as the compressor head or outlet tubes, can result in serious burns. A10055 Never touch any exposed metal parts on compressor during or immediately after operation. Compressor will remain hot for several minutes after operation. Do not reach around protective shrouds or attempt maintenance until unit has been allowed to cool.
  • Page 7 WARNING: Risk of Unsafe Operation What Could Happen Unsafe operation of your air compressor could lead to serious injury or death to you or others. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HAZARD...

  • Page 8: Duty Cycle

    The low pressure at which the motor automatically restarts is called "cut-in" pressure. Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before the motor automatically shuts off - protecting your air tank from pressure higher than its capacity.
  • Page 9 Use air compressor oil only. NOTE: Use an oil specifically formulated for use in an air compressor, such as Porter-Cable PAS1 air compressor oil. Oil may be found at the store where the air compressor was purchased. Place unit on a level surface.

  • Page 10: Installation

    HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT Location of the Air Compressor Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area. The air compressor should be located at least 12" away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air. The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling.

  • Page 11: Extension Cords

    Extension Cords Using extension cords is not recommended. The use of extension cords will cause voltage to drop resulting in power loss to the motor and overheating. Instead of using an extension cord, increase the working reach of the air hose by attaching another length of hose to its end.

  • Page 12: Know Your Air Compressor

    You know the cooling system is working when air is being expelled. Air Compressor Pump (not shown): Compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that required at the air outlet.
  • Page 13 Check Valve: When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is "open", allowing compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches "cut-out" pressure, the check valve "closes", allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank.

  • Page 14: Before Each Start-Up

    When the desired pressure is reached push knob in to lock in place. The compressor is ready for use. Risk to Breathing. Always operate the air compressor in well-ventilated areas free of gasoline or other combustible vapors. If the compressor is being used to operate a sprayer DO NOT place near the spray area.

  • Page 15: Customer Responsibilities

    To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air compressor unit, a routine maintenance schedule should be prepared and followed. The following routine maintenance schedule is geared to an unit in a normal working environment operating on a daily basis. If necessary, the schedule should be modified to suit the conditions under which your compressor is used.
  • Page 16 + (full) mark on the dipstick. NOTE: Use an oil specifically formulated for use in an air compressor, such as Porter-Cable PAS1 air compressor oil. Oil may be found at the store where the air compressor was purchased.
  • Page 17 Replace the oil drain plug (B). Slowly fill crankcase with oil. Crankcase capacity is 6 fluid ounces (177.4 ml). Oil level should be at the + (full) mark on the dipstick. Replace dipstick (A). Air Filter - Inspection and Replacement Risk of Burns.

  • Page 18: Service And Adjustments

    When servicing, you may be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air, or moving parts. Before servicing unit unplug or disconnect electrical supply to the air compressor, bleed tank of pressure, and allow the air compressor to cool.
  • Page 19 Before you store the air compressor, make sure you do the following: Review the "Maintenance" section on the preceding pages and perform scheduled maintenance as necessary. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF" and unplug unit. Risk of Flying Objects. Pull the regulator knob out and turn counter-clockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero when removing hose or accessories to prevent hose backlash.

  • Page 20: Troubleshooting

    When servicing, you may be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air, or moving parts. Before servicing unit unplug or disconnect electrical supply to the air compressor, bleed tank of pressure, and allow the air compressor to cool.
  • Page 21 Decrease amount of air usage. Check the accessory air requirement. If it is higher than the SCFM or pressure supplied by your air compressor, you need a larger compressor. Check and replace if required. Check and replace if required. Remove and clean, or replace.
