To Drain Tank

NOTE: Operation of the air compressor will cause condensation to build up in the air tank. Always drain tank on a washable surface or in a suitable container to prevent damaging or staining surfaces.

1.Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "Off".

2.Pull the regulator knob out and turn counterclockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero.

3.Remove the air tool or accessory.

4.Pull ring on safety valve allowing air to bleed from the tank until tank pressure is approximately 20 psi. Release safety valve ring.

5.Drain water from

air tank by opening drain valve on bottom of tank.

Risk of Bursting. Water will

condense in the air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.

6.After the water has been drained, close the drain valve. The air compressor can

now be stored. NOTE: If drain valve is

plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.

Oil

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. NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is approximately 16 fluid ounces.

Checking

1. Remove the oil fill

 

plug (A). The oil

 

level should be

 

even with the top

A

 

of the fill hole and

 

no lower than 6

 

threads from the

 

top of fill hole.

B

 

2.If needed, slowly add oil until it

reaches the top of fill hole.

Changing

1.Remove the oil fill plug (A).

2.Remove the oil drain plug (B) and drain oil into a suitable container.

3.Replace the oil drain plug (B) and tighten securely.

4.Slowly fill crankcase to the top of the fill hole. NOTE: When filling the crankcase, the oil flows very slowly into the pump. If the oil is added too quickly, it will overflow and appear to be full.

Risk of Unsafe Operation.

Overfilling with oil will cause premature compressor failure. Do not overfill.

5.Replace oil fill plug (A) and tighten securely.
