SERVICE AND REPAIRS

All quality tools will eventually require servicing or replacement of parts due to wear from normal use. These operations should ONLY be performed by either an AUTHORIZED PORTER-CABLE SERVICE STATION or a PORTER- CABLE SERVICE CENTER. All repairs made by these agencies are fully guaranteed against defective material and workmanship. We cannot guar- antee repairs made or attempted by anyone other than these agencies.

Should you have any questions about your compressor, feel free to write us at any time. In any communications, please give all information shown on the nameplate of your compressor (model number, type, serial number, etc.).

STORAGE

Before you store the air compressor, make sure you do the following:

1.Review the Maintenance section on the preceding pages and perform sched- uled maintenance as necessary.

2.Set the “ON/AUTO” lever to “OFF”.

3.Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the outlet pressure to zero.

4.Remove the air tool or accessory.

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

6.Drain water from air tank by opening drain cock valve on bottom of tank.

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.

7.After the water has been drained, close the drain cock or drain valve.

NOTE

If drain cock valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.

8.Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage (such as being stepped on or run over). Wind them loosely around the compressor handle. (If so equipped)

Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location.
