Laboratories Standards for Safety. DUTY CYCLE Porter-Cable air compressors should be operated on not more than a 50% duty cycle. This means an air compressor that pumps air more than 50% of one hour is considered misused, because the air compressor is undersized for the required air demand.
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION Air Compressor Pump: To compress air, the piston moves up and down in the cylinder. On the downstroke, air is drawn in through the intake valves. The exhaust valves remain closed. On the upstroke of the piston, air is compressed. The intake valves close and compressed air is forced out through the exhaust valves.
Tank Pressure Gauge (G) Fig. 3: The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank. Cooling System: This compressor contains an advanced design cooling system. The cooling system is working when air is being expelled. Air Intake Filter: This unit requires no air filter due to the unique design of the air intake system.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS The air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounded wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be used with an outlet that has been installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
b. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. c. Turn the drain valve (J) Fig. 2, opening it fully, to prevent air pressure build-up in the tank. d. Move the pressure switch lever to “ON/AUTO”. The compressor will start.
