Assembling The Compressor - Porter Cable PXCMLC3706056 Manuel D'instructions

air is used and the pressure level in the tank drops to the kick–in pressure, the
pressure switch restarts the motor automatically, without warning and the pump
resumes compressing air.
The air line outlet (see E). Connect 1/4" NPT air hose to this outlet.

ASSEMBLING THE COMPRESSOR

1. Unpack the air compressor. Inspect the unit for damage. If the unit has been damaged
in transit, contact the carrier and complete a damage claim. Do this immediately
because there are time limitations to damage claims.
The carton should contain:
• air compressor
• operator and parts manuals
2. Check the compressor's serial label to ensure that you have received the model
ordered, and that it has the required pressure rating for its intended use.
3. Locate the compressor according to the following guidelines:
a. For optimum performance, locate the compressor close to the power panel, as
specified in ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS, and as close as possible
to the place where the air will be used. This ensures maximum power to the
compressor and maximum air pressure to the tool. If both of these conditions
cannot be met, it is better to locate the compressor close to the power panel,
and use a longer air hose to reach the usage area.
b. The flywheel side of the compressor must be at least 12 inches (31 cm) from any
wall or obstruction, in a clean, well-ventilated area, to ensure sufficient air
flow and cooling.
c. In cold climates, locate the compressors in a heated building when not in use.
This will reduce problems with lubrication, motor starting and freezing of water
condensation.
d. Remove the compressor from the shipping pallet and place it on the floor or a
hard, level surface. The compressor must be level to ensure proper
lubrication of the pump and good drainage of the moisture in the tank.
WARNING

an operating compressor. Operating the compressor while it is on the pallet will
void your warranty.
e. To prevent damage to tank and pump, the tank must be shimmed so the pump
is level within 1/8" per lineal foot maximum to distribute oil properly. Fasten to
floor and NEVER force tank feet to floor without shims when tightening. We also
recommend the use of vibration pads (094-0137) under tank feet (C).
4. Connect an air hose (not included) to the
compressor.
