Porter-Cable C2555 Air Compressor User Manual


 
15- ENG
D29795
How to Start:
1. Turn the On/Auto/Off lever to "AUTO" and allow tank pressure to build.
Motor will stop when tank pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure.
2. Pull the regulator knob out and turn clockwise to increase pressure. When
the desired pressure is reached push knob in to lock in place. The
compressor is ready for use.
NOTE: Always operate the air compressor in well-ventilated areas free of
gasoline or other combustible vapors. If the compressor is being used to
operate a sprayer DO NOT place near the spray area.
3.
Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
(Refer to
Voltage and Circuit Protection paragraph in the Installation section of this
manual.)
4. Open the drain valve fully (counter-clockwise) to permit air to escape and
prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during the break-in period.
5. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "ON/AUTO" position. The compressor will
start.
6. Run the compressor for 20 minutes. Make sure the drain valve is open and
there is minimal air pressure build-up in tank.
7. After 20 minutes, close the drain valve (clockwise). The air receiver will fill
to "cut-out" pressure and the motor will stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.
Before Each Start-Up:
1. Place On/Auto/Off lever to “OFF”.
2. Pull regulator knob out, turn counter-clockwise until it stops. Push knob in
to lock in place.
3. Attach hose and accessories.
Risk of Flying Objects. Pull the regulator knob out and turn
counter-clockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero when
removing hose or accessories to prevent hose backlash.
NOTE: The hose or accessory will require a quick connect plug. To use remote
console, see "How to Use Remote Console" paragraph in this section.
Risk of Bursting. Too much air pressure causes a
hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer’s
maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator
outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.
