Oil
Drain tank to
release air pressure
before removing the oil fill cap or
oil drain plug.
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.
A
B
To Drain Tank
1. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to
"Off".
2. Pull the regulator knob out and
turn counter clockwise 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.
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.
2. If needed, slowly add oil until it
reaches the top of fill hole.
NOTE: Oil is included with some
units. If oil is not included, 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.
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: Crankcase oil
capacity is approximately 16 fluid
ounces (473.2 ml).
Over filling with oil
will cause
premature compressor failure. Do
not overfill.
5. Replace oil fill plug (A) and
tighten securely.
Air Filter - Inspection and
Replacement
Hot surfaces.
Risk of burn.
Compressor heads are exposed
when filter cover is removed.
Allow compressor to cool prior to
servicing.
Keep the air filter
clean at all times.
Do not operate the air
compressor with the air filter
removed.
A dirty air filter will not allow the
compressor pump to operate at full
capacity. Before using the
compressor pump, check the air
filter to make sure it is clean and in
place.
If it is dirty, replace it with a new
filter.
