Porter-Cable C2002 Air Compressor User Manual


 
13 - ENG A15414
How to Start
1. Turn the On/Auto/Off lever to "On/
Auto" and allow tank pressure to
build. Motor will stop when tank
pressure reaches "cut-out" pres-
sure.
2. Turn regulator knob clockwise to
increase pressure and stop when
desired pressure is reached.
The compressor is ready for use.
MAINTENANCE
Customer Responsibilities
Before each use Daily or after each
use
Check Safety Valve
Drain Tank
Risk of Unsafe
Operation. Unit
cycles automatically when power
is on. When servicing, you may
be exposed to voltage sources,
compressed air, or moving parts.
Before servicing unit unplug or
disconnect electrical supply to
the air compressor, bleed tank
of pressure, and allow the air
compressor to cool.
To ensure efficient operation and lon-
ger life of the air compressor, a routine
maintenance schedule should be pre-
pared and followed. The above routine
maintenance schedule is geared to
an air compressor in a normal work-
ing environment operating on a daily
basis. If necessary, the schedule
should be modified to suit the condi-
tions under which your air compressor
is used. The modifications will depend
upon the hours of operation and the
working environment. Compressors
in an extremely dirty and/or hostile
environment will require a greater fre-
quency of all maintenance checks.
NOTE: See "Operation" section for the
location of controls.
TO CHECK SAFETY VALVE
Risk of Bursting.
If the safety valve
does not work properly, over-
pressurization may occur, causing
air tank rupture or an explosion.
Risk from Flying
Objects. Always
wear certified safety equipment: ANSI
Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3)
with side shields
1. Before starting compressor, pull
the ring on the safety valve to
make sure that the safety valve
operates freely. If the valve
is stuck or does not operate
smoothly, it must be replaced with
the same type of valve.
To Drain Tank
Risk of Unsafe
Operation. Risk
from noise. Air tanks contain high
pressure air. Keep face and other
body parts away from outlet of drain.
Use safety glasses when draining
as debris can be kicked up into
face. Use ear protection (
ANSI S12.6
(S3.19) hearing protection)
as air flow
noise is loud when draining.
NOTE: All compressed air systems
generate condensate that accumulates
in any drain point (e.g., tanks, filter, after-
coolers, dryers). This condensate con-
tains lubricating oil and/or substances
which may be regulated and must be
disposed of in accordance with local,
state, and federal laws and regulations.
1. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "Off"
and unplug unit.
