Porter-Cable 1000002853 instruction manual HOW to USE Your Unit, How to Stop

Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the
air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of
each use.
	DRAIN
Check Valve: When the air compressor is operating, the
	VALVE
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.

Motor 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 CHECK be allowed to cool down before restarting. The VALVE compressor will automatically restart after the motor

cools.

HOW TO USE YOUR UNIT

How to Stop:

1.Set the On/Off switch to "Off".

Before Starting

Do not operate this unit until you read and understand this instruction manual for safety, operation and maintenance instructions.

Break-in Procedure

Risk of Unsafe Operation. Serious damage may result if the following break-in instructions are not closely followed.

This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into service and when the check valve or a complete compressor pump has been replaced.

1.Make sure the On/Off switch is in the "Off" position.

2.Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. (Refer to Voltage and Circuit Protection paragraph in the Installation section of this manual.)

3.Open the drain valve (counter-clockwise) fully to permit air to escape and prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during the break-in period.

4.Move the On/Off switch to "On" position. The compressor will start.

5.Run the compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure the drain valve is open and there is minimal air pressure build-up in tank.

6.After 15 minutes, close the drain valve by turning clockwise. The air receiver will fill to "cut-out" pressure and the motor will stop.

The compressor is now ready for use.

Before Each Start-Up:

1.Set the On/Off switch to "Off".

2.Turn the regulator knob counter-clockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero.

3.Attach hose and accessories.

Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose in hand when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.

Risk of unsafe operation. Do not use damaged or worn

accessories.

NOTE: The hose or accessory will require a quick connect plug if the air outlet is equipped with a quick connect socket.

Risk of Bursting. Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.
