If you hear air leaks at the fittings of your Porter-Cable Air Compressor, it's likely that the tube fittings are not tight enough. Tighten the fittings where you hear air escaping, and check them with a soapy water solution. Be careful not to overtighten them.
Why does the pressure reading drop when using an accessory with my Porter-Cable C2002 Air Compressor?
It is normal for some pressure drop to occur on your Porter-Cable Air Compressor. If there is an excessive amount of pressure drop when the accessory is used, adjust the regulator following the instructions in the "Description of Operation" paragraph in the "Operation Section. NOTE: Adjust the regulated pressure under flow conditions (while accessory is being used).
Why does the safety valve pop off on my Porter-Cable Air Compressor?
If the safety valve on your Porter-Cable Air Compressor pops off due to excessive tank pressure, it could be due to: * The pressure switch not shutting off the motor when the compressor reaches the "cut-out" pressure. Move the On/Auto/Off lever to the "Off" position. If the unit still doesn't shut off, contact a Trained Service Technician. * The pressure switch "cut-out" being set too high. Contact a Trained Service Technician.
What causes air leaks in the air tank of my Porter-Cable Air Compressor?
Air leaks in the air tank or at the air tank welds of your Porter-Cable Air Compressor indicate a defective air tank. The air tank must be replaced; do not attempt to repair the leak to avoid the risk of bursting. Do not drill into, weld, or modify the air tank, as this will weaken it and could cause it to rupture or explode.
What to do if Porter-Cable C2002 Air Compressor pressure reading drops when using accessory?
It is normal for some pressure drop to occur on your Porter-Cable Air Compressor when an accessory is used. However, if there is an excessive amount of pressure drop, adjust the regulator following the instructions in the Description of Operation paragraph in the Operation Section. Note: Adjust the regulated pressure under flow conditions (while the accessory is being used).
Why does my Porter-Cable Air Compressor have excessive tank pressure?
Excessive tank pressure in your Porter-Cable Air Compressor, causing the safety valve to pop off, is due to the pressure switch not shutting off the motor when the compressor reaches the cut-out pressure, or the pressure switch cut-out being set too high. Move the On/Off lever to the Off position. If the unit does not shut off, contact a Trained Service Technician.
Why is my Porter-Cable Air Compressor not supplying enough air?
Your Porter-Cable Air Compressor might not be supplying enough air due to prolonged excessive air use, or the compressor may not be large enough for the air requirement. Other potential causes include a hole in the hose, a restricted check valve, or air leaks. To resolve this, decrease air usage and verify that your compressor meets the accessory's SCFM and pressure needs. Inspect and replace the hose if needed. Tighten any loose fittings.
What to do if the regulator on my Porter-Cable C2002 Air Compressor will not shut off the air outlet?
If the regulator on your Porter-Cable Air Compressor will not shut off the air outlet, it means that the regulator is damaged and needs to be replaced.
Why does the regulator knob on my Porter-Cable C2002 Air Compressor have a continuous air leak?
If the regulator knob on your Porter-Cable Air Compressor has a continuous air leak, it indicates that the regulator is damaged and needs to be replaced.
What to do if Porter-Cable C2002 Air Compressor motor will not run?
If the motor of your Porter-Cable Air Compressor will not run, check the fuse box for a blown fuse and replace it if necessary, using a time delay fuse. Reset the circuit breaker. Ensure you're using the correct fuse and that the extension cord is the right length and gauge. Check for any loose electrical connections and low voltage issues. Try disconnecting other appliances or using a dedicated branch circuit. If the motor overload protection trips frequently, contact a Trained Service Technician.
