Before Starting - Porter Cable PCFP02040 Manuel D'instructions

Cooling System (not shown): This compressor contains an advanced design
cooling system. At the heart of this cooling system is an engineered fan. It is perfectly
normal for this fan to blow air through the vent holes in large amounts. You know that
the cooling system is working when air is being expelled.
Air Compressor Pump (J): 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 Valves (K): A drain valve is located at the base of the each air tank and is used
to drain condensation at the end of each use.
Check Valve (L): When the air compressor is operating, the 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 a thermal overload
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. To restart:
1. Set the Auto/Off lever to "Off" and unplug unit.
2. Allow the motor to cool.
3. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
4. Set the Auto/Off lever to "Auto" position.
Universal Quick Connect Body (M): The universal quick connect body accepts the
three most popular styles of quick connect plugs: Industrial, automotive, and ARO.
One hand push-to-connect operation makes connections simple and easy.
Regulator (N): Controls the air pressure shown on the regulated pressure gauge.
Pull the knob out and turn clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise
to decrease pressure. When the desired pressure is reached push knob in to lock
in place.
Air Intake Filter (P): This filter is designed to clean air coming into the pump. This
filter must always be clean and ventilation openings free from obstructions. See
Maintenance.
Dipstick (Q) (not shown): Indicates the amount of oil in the pump, MAX indicates
full and MIN indicates oil needs to be added. See Pump Oil paragraphs in the
Maintenance section for instructions.
Oil Drain Plug (R) (not shown): See Pump Oil paragraphs in the Maintenance
section for instructions on how to change the pump oil.
Pressure Release Valve (not shown): The pressure release valve located on the
side of the pressure switch, is designed to automatically release compressed air from
the compressor head and the outlet tube when the air compressor reaches "cut-out"
pressure or is shut off. The pressure release valve allows the motor to restart freely.
When the motor stops running, air will be heard escaping from this valve for a few
seconds. No air should be heard leaking when the motor is running, or continuous
leaking after unit reaches "cut-out" pressure.
HOW TO USE YOUR UNIT (FIG. 4)
