GLOSSARY

Become familiar with these terms before operating the unit.

CFM: Cubic feet per minute.

SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.

PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of pressure.

Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of the following marks:

UL, CUL, ETL, CETL, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent

safety laboratories and meet the applicable Underwriters Laboratories

Standards for Safety.

Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you

continue to use your accessory. When the tank pressure drops to a certain low

level the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor

automatically restarts is called “cut-in” pressure.

Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run,

air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure

before the motor automatically shuts off - protecting your air tank from

pressure higher than its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts

off is called “cut-out” pressure.

Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.

If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the air compressor

repeatedly causes interruption of the power it may be necessary to operate it from a

20 amp circuit. It is not necessary to change the cord set.

* * A circuit breaker is preferred. Use only a fuse or circuit breaker that is the same

rating as the branch circuit on which the air compressor is operated. If the air

compressor is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use dual element time

delay fuses.

This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously. However, to

prolong the life of your air compressor, it is recommended that a 50%-75%

average duty cycle be maintained; that is, the air compressor pump should not

run more than 30-45 minutes in any given hour.

To Add Oil To Pump

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS AIR COMPRESSOR

WITHOUT FIRST ADDING OIL TO THE CRANKCASE.

Serious damage can result from even limited operation unless filled with

oil and broken in correctly. Make sure to closely follow initial start-up

procedures.

COMPRESSORS ARE SHIPPED WITHOUT OIL. A small

amount of oil may be present in the pump upon receipt of

the air compressor. This is due to plant testing and does not mean the

pump contains oil.

Multi-Viscosity motor oils, like 10W 30, 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: 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

dipstick.

Make sure air vent (B) in

dipstick is free from

debris. If air vent is blocked pressure

can build in crankcase causing damage

to air compressor and possible personal

injury.

2. Remove dipstick (A) and slowly fill

crankcase with oil. Crankcase

capacity is 6 fluid ounces (177.4 ml).

Oil level should be at the + (full) mark

on the dipstick.

NOTE: If the oil is added too quickly, it will

overflow and appear to be full.

3. Replace dipstick.
