Porter-Cable CPLDC2540P instruction manual How to Use Your Unit, Before Starting

Dipstick: Indicates the amount of oil in the pump, the + mark indicates full and the - mark indicates oil needs to be added. See Oil paragraphs in the Maintenance section for instructions.

Motor Thermal Overload Protector (not shown): The motor has an automatic reset thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting. The compressor will automatically restart after the motor cools.

Dipstick

Air Intake Filter (not shown): This filter is designed to clean air coming into the pump. This filter must always be clean and ventilation openings free from obstructions. See "Maintenance".

Check Valve: When the air compressor is
operating, the check valve is “open”, allowing
		Pressure
compressed air to enter the air tank. When the		Release
		Valve
air compressor reaches “cut-out” pressure, the
check valve “closes”, allowing air pressure to
	Check
remain inside the air tank.	Valve

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. 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.
