Porter-Cable 1000003754 Motor Overload Protector not shown, How to Stop, Before Each Start-Up

You know that the cooling system is working when air is being expelled.

Air Compressor Pump (not shown): Compresses air into the air tank. Working

air is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that
required at the air outlet.
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	Check Valve
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.

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 pre- vent 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
