Porter-Cable Oil Lube Two Stage D24225-049-2 - Manual (Page 12)

12- ENG D24225
Description of Operation
Become familiar with these controls before operating the unit.
On/Auto/Off Switch: Turn this switch
ON to provide automatic power to
the pressure switch and OFF to
remove power at the end of each
use.
Pressure Switch: The pressure
switch automatically starts the motor
when the air tank pressure drops
below the factory set "cut-in"
pressure. It stops the motor when the
air tank pressure reaches the factory
set "cut-out" pressure.
Safety Valve: If the pressure switch
does not shut off the air compressor
at its "cut-out" pressure setting, the
safety valve will protect against high
pressure by "popping out" at its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the
pressure switch "cut-out" setting).
Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air
pressure in the tank.
Globe Valve: Opens and closes air discharge valve. Turn knob counter-
clockwise to open and clockwise to close.
Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the
base of the air tank and is used to drain
condensation at the end of each use.
Cooling System (not shown): This compressor
contains an advanced design cooling system. At
the heart of this cooling system is an engineered
fan. It is perfectly normal for this fan to blow air through the vent holes in large
amounts. You know that the cooling system is working when air is being
expelled.
Air Compressor Pump (not shown): Compresses air into the air tank.
Working air is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank
pressure above that required at the air outlet.
