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.

The

outlet

must

have

the

same

configuration

as

the

plug.

See

illustration.

DO

NOT

USE

AN

ADAPTER.

AWARNING

IMPROPER

GROUNDING

CAN

RESULT

IN

SEVERE

ELECTRICAL

SHOCK.

Inspect

the

plug

and

cord

before

each

use.

Do

not

use

if

there

are

signs

of

damage.

Do

not

modify

the

plug

that

has

been

provided.

If

it

does

not

fit

the

available

outlet,

the

correct

outlet

should

be

installed

by

a

qualified

electrician.

If

these

grounding

instructions

are

not

completely

understood,

or

if

in

doubt

as

to

whether

the

compressor

is

properly

grounded,

have

the

installation

checked

by

a

qualified

electrician.

CUT-IN

PRESSURE:

is

called

“cut-in

CUT-OUT

When

and

it

begins

to

run,

air

pressure

in

the

air

tank

begins

to

build.

It

The

DUTY

CYCLE

Porter-Cable

duty

cycle.

This

means

an

air

compressor

that

pumps

air

more

than

50%

of

one

hour

is

considered

misused,

because

the

compressor

is

undersized

for

the

required

demand.

Maximum

compressor

pumping

time

per

hour

is

30

minutes.

STORAGE

When

you

have

finished

using

the

air

compressor:

1.

Set

the

“ON/OFF”

switch

to

“OFF”

and

unplug

the

cord.

2.

Review

the

“Operating

Procedures”

section.

Be

sure

to

the

water

from

3.

Protect

the

hose

from

damage

by

winding

them

loosely

around

DESCRIPTION

OF

OPERATION

Air

Compressor

Pump

(A)

Fig.

1:

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.

Check

Valve

(B)

Fig.

2:

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.

Pressure

Switch

(D)

Fig.

:

The

pressure

switch

automatically

starts

the

motor

when

the

tank

pressure

drops

below

the

factory

set

“cut-in”

pressure.

It

stops

the

motor

when

the

air

tank

pressure

reaches

the

factory

set

“cut-out”

pressure.

Regulator

(E)

Fig.

3:

The

air

pressure

coming

from

the

air

tank

is

controlled

by

the

regulator.

Turn

the

regulator

knob

clockwise

to

increase

pressure

and

counterclockwise

to

decrease

pressure.

To

avoid

minor

readjustment

after

making

a

change

in

pressure

setting,

always

approach

the

desired

pressure

from

a

lower

pressure.

When

reducing

from

a

higher

to

a

lower

setting,

first

reduce

to

pressure

less

than

that

desired,

then

bring

it

up

to

the

desired

pressure.

Depending

on

the

air

require¬

ments

of

each

particular

accessory,

the

outlet

regulated

air

pressure

may

have

to

be

adjusted

while

operating

the

accessory.

(F)

This

is

controlled

by

the

regulator

and

is

always

than

or

equal

to

the

tank

pressure.

Cooling

System:

This

compressor

contains

an

advanced

design

cooling

system.

At

the

heart

of

this

cooling

system

is

an

engineered

fan.

It

is

perfectly

normal

for

this

fan

to

blow

air

through

the

vent

holes

in

large

amounts.

You

know

that

the

cooling

system

is

working

when

air

is

being

expelled.

Air

Intake

Filter

(H)

Fig.

This

filter

is

designed

to

must

always

be

clean

and

free

from

obstructions.

Twist

counter-clockwise

to

remove

and

expose

filter

element.

Drain

Valve

(J)

Fig.

2:

The

drain

valve

is

located

at

the

base

of

the

lower

air

tank

and

is

used

to

drain

condensation

at

the

end

of

each

use.

Motor

Thermal

Overload

Protector:

The

electric

motor

has

an

automatic

thermal

overload

protector.

If

the

motor

overheats

for

any

reason,

the

thermal

overload

protector

will

shut

off

the

motor.

The

motor

must

be

allowed

to

cool

before

restarting.

Pressure

Release

Valve:

The

pressure

release

valve

located

on

the

side

of

the

pressure

switch,

is

designed

to

automatically

release

compressed

air

from

the

compressor

head

and

the

outlet

tube

when

the

air

compressor

reaches

“cut-out”

pressure

or

is

shut

off.

If

the

air

is

not

released,

the

motor

will

try

to

start,

but

will

be

unable

to.

The

pressure

release

valve

allows

the

motor

to

restart

freely.

When

the

motor

stops

running,

air

will

be

heard

escaping

from

this

valve

for

a

few

seconds.

No

air

should

be

heard

leaking

when

the

motor

is

running,

or

continuous

leaking

after

unit

reaches

cut-out

pressure.

Safety

Valve

(K)

Fig.

3:

If

the

pressure

switch

does

not

shut

off

the

air

compressor

at

its

cutout

pressure

setting,

the

safety

valve

will

protect

against

high

pressure

by

“popping

out”

at

its

factory

set

pressure

(slightly

higher

than

the

pressure

switch

cut-out

setting).

AWARNING

If

the

safety

valve

does

not

work

properly,

over-pressuri-

zation

may

occur,

causing

air

tank

rupture

or

an

explosion.

Daily

pull

the

ring

on

the

safety

valve

to

make

sure

that

the

safety

valve

operates

freely.

If

the

valve

is

stuck

or

does

not

operate

smoothly,

it

must

be

replaced

with

the

same

type

of

valve.

INSTALLATION

AND

BREAK-IN

PROCEDURES

LOCATION

OF

THE

AIR

COMPRESSOR

Your

compressor

comes

to

you

completely

assembled

and

ready

for

use.

Operate

the

air

compressor

in

a

dry,

clean,

cool

and

well

ventilated

area.

The

air

compressor

pump

and

case

are

designed

to

allow

for

proper

cooling.

Clean

or

blow

off

dust

or

dirt

that

collects

on

the

air

compressor.

A

clean

air

compressor

runs

cooler

and

provides

longer

service.

The

ventilation

openings

on

your

air

compressor

are

necessary

to

maintain

proper

operating

temperature.

Do

not

place

rags

or

other

containers

on

or

near

these

openings.

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.

The

outlet

must

have

the

same

configuration

as

the

plug.

See

illustration.

DO

NOT

USE

AN

ADAPTER.

AWARNING

IMPROPER

GROUNDING

CAN

RESULT

IN

SEVERE

ELECTRICAL

SHOCK.

Inspect

the

plug

and

cord

before

each

use.

Do

not

use

if

there

are

signs

of

damage.

Do

not

modify

the

plug

that

has

been

provided.

If

it

does

not

fit

the

available

outlet,

the

correct

outlet

should

be

installed

by

a

qualified

electrician.

If

these

grounding

instructions

are

not

completely

understood,

or

if

in

doubt

as

to

whether

the

compressor

is

properly

grounded,

have

the

installation

checked

by

a

qualified

electrician.

EXTENSION

CORDS

Use

extra

air

hose

instead

of

an

extension

cord

to

avoid

voltage

drop

and

power

loss

to

the

motor.

If

an

extension

cord

must

be

used,

be

sure

it

is:

•

A

3-wire

extension

cord

that

has

a

3-blade

grounding

plug,

and

a

3-slot

receptacle

that

will

accept

the

plug

on

the

compressor.

•

In

good

condition.

•

No

longer

than

50

feet.

•

12

gauge

(AWG)

or

larger.

(Wire

size

increases

as

gauge

number

decreases.)

10

AWG

and

8

AWG

may

also

be

used.

DO

NOT

USE

14

AWG

or

SMALLER.

ADDITIONAL

REGULATORS

AND

CONTROLS

Since

the

air

tank

pressure

is

usually

greater

than

that

which

is

needed,

a

regulator

is

employed

to

control

the

air

pressure

ahead

of

any

individual

air

driven

device.

Separate

air

transformers

which

combine

the

function

of

air

regulation,

moisture

and

dirt

removal

should

be

used

where

applicable.

LUBRICATION

The

bearings

in

this

unit

are

sealed

bearings

which

contain

sufficient

lubricant

to

last

their

lives.

No

other

lubrication

is

required.

BREAK-IN

PROCEDURES

NOTE:

Serious

damage

may

result

if

the

following

break-in

instructions

are

not
