Assembling The Compressor - Porter-Cable PXCML224VW Instruction Manual

ASSEMBLING THE COMPRESSOR

1. Unpack the air compressor. Inspect the unit for damage. If the unit has been
damaged in transit, contact the carrier and complete a damage claim.
Do this immediately because there are time limitations to damage claims.
2. Check the compressor's serial label to ensure that you have received the model
ordered, and that it has the required pressure rating for its intended use.
3. Locate the compressor according to the following guidelines:
a. Position the compressor near a grounded electrical outlet.
b. The compressor must be at least 12 inches (31 cm) from any wall or
obstruction, in a clean, well-ventilated area, to ensure sufficient air flow and
cooling.
c. In cold climates, store portable compressors in a heated building when
not in use. This will reduce problems with motor starting and freezing of
water condensation.
d. Remove the compressor from the carton and place it on the floor or a hard,
level surface. The compressor must be level to ensure proper drainage of
the moisture in the tank.
4. Remove the plug (A) from the oil fill port. Fill the compressor pump with high
quality air compressor oil at slow intervals until the oil reaches the center of the
red circle on the oil sight glass (B). Install the provided oil breather cap (C)
into the oil fill port.
5. Connect an air hose to the quick connector (D).
