To Drain Tank
NOTE: Operation of the air
compressor will cause condensation
to build up in the air tank. Always
drain tank on a washable surface
or in a suitable container to prevent
damaging or staining surfaces.
1.
Set the On/Auto/Off lever to
"Off".
2.
Pull the regulator knob out and
turn counterclockwise to set the
outlet pressure to zero.
3.
Remove the air tool or
accessory.
4.
Pull ring on safety valve allowing
air to bleed from the tank until
tank pressure is approximately
20 psi. Release safety valve ring.
5.
Drain water from air tank by
opening drain valve (counter-
clockwise) on bottom of tank.
Risk of Bursting.
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.
6.
After the water has been drained,
close the drain valve (clockwise).
The air compressor can now be
stored.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged,
release all air pressure. The valve
can then be removed, cleaned, then
reinstalled.
Oil
NOTE: Use an oil specifically
formulated for use in an air
compressor, such as Porter-Cable
PAS1 air compressor oil. Oil may
be found at the store where the air
compressor was purchased.
NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is
approximately 16 fluid ounces.
Checking
1.
Remove the oil fill plug (A). The oil
level should be even with the top
of the fill hole and no lower than 6
threads from the top of fill hole.
2.
If needed, slowly add oil until it
reaches the top of fill hole.
Changing
1.
Remove the oil fill plug (A).
2.
Remove the oil drain plug (B)
and drain oil
into a suitable
container.
3.
Replace the
oil drain plug
(B) and tighten
securely.
4.
Slowly fill
crankcase to
the top of the
fill hole. NOTE: When filling the
crankcase, the oil flows very
slowly into the pump. If the oil is
added too quickly, it will overflow
and appear to be full.
Overfilling with oil will cause
premature compressor failure. Do
not overfill.
5.
Replace oil fill plug (A) and
tighten securely.
