Unpacking
1. Remove all packaging.
It may be necessary to brace or support one side of the
outfit when removing the pallet because the air compressor
will have a tendency to tip.
2. Remove and discard the (4) screws and washers holding the compressor to
the pallet.
3. With the help of another person carefully remove air compressor from pallet
and place on a level surface.
To Add Oil To Pump
Compressors are shipped with some oil due to factory
testing. Do not operate this air compressor without adding
the correct amount of oil to the pump crankcase. Serious damage can
result from even the minimal operation if the pump crankcase does not
contain the correct amount of oil. Make sure the break-in procedure is
completed before operating the air compressor.
Multi-Viscosity motor oils, like 10W30, should not be used
in an air compressor. They leave carbon deposits on critical
components, thus reducing performance and compressor life. Use air
compressor oil only.
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.
1. Place unit on a level surface.
Drain tank to release air pressure before removing the oil fill
cap or oil drain plug.
2. Remove oil fill plug (A) and slowly add a
A
B
compressor oil to the middle of sight
glass (B). 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.
NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is
approximately 48 fluid ounces.
3. Replace oil fill plug.
