Before Each Start-Up - Porter Cable PCFP02040 Manual De Instrucciones

INITIAL SET-UP (BREAK-IN PROCEDURE)
Risk of property damage. Serious damage may result if the
following break-in instructions are not closely followed.
This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into service and when the
check valve or a complete compressor pump has been replaced.
1. Make sure the Auto/Off switch (D) is in the "Off" position.
2. Check oil level in pump. See Pump Oil-Checking paragraph in the Maintenance
section for instructions.
Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. (Refer to Voltage
3.
and Circuit Protection paragraph in the Installation section of this manual.)
4. Open the drain valves (K) (counterclockwise) fully to permit air to escape and
prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during the break-in period.
5. Move the Auto/Off switch to "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 valves by turning 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

9. Ensure all covers and labels are in place, legible (for labels) and securely mounted.
Do not use compressor until all items have been verified.
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.
Risk of property damage. Do not operate without oil or with
