MAINTENANCE

KEEP TOOL CLEAN

Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. Clean all
plastic parts with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic
parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.

WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHILE USING COMPRESSED AIR.

FAILURE TO START

Should your tool fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug
are making good contact in the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open
circuit breakers in the line.

SERVICE AND REPAIRS 

All quality tools will eventually require servicing or replacement of parts due
to wear from normal use. These operations should ONLY be performed by
either an AUTHORIZED PORTER-CABLE SERVICE STATION or a PORTER-
CABLE SERVICE CENTER. All repairs made by these agencies are fully
guaranteed against defective material and workmanship. We cannot
guarantee repairs made or attempted by anyone other than these agencies.

Should you have any questions about your compressor, feel free to write us
at any time. In any communications, please give all information shown on the
nameplate of your compressor (model number, type, serial number, etc.).

STORAGE

1.

Set the “OFF/AUTO” lever to “OFF”.

2.

Turn the regulator counterclockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero.

3.

Remove the air tool or accessory.

4.

Pull ring on safety valve (K) Fig. 3, allowing air to bleed from the tank
until tank pressure is approximately 20 psi. Release safety valve ring.

5.

Drain water from air tank. Turn drain valve (J) Fig. 2, counterclockwise, to
open.

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.

NOTE: 

If drain valve is plugged, pull ring on safety valve (K) Fig. 3,

and hold until all air pressure has been released. The valve can then
be removed, cleaned, and reinstalled.

6.

After the water has been completely drained, turn drain valve to close.
The air compressor can now be stored.

7.

Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage by winding them
loosely around the air compressor.

8.

Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location.
