PC2016 FEATURES REVIEW MOTOR/PRESSURE SWITCH: This switch is used to start or stop the air compressor. Moving the switch to the "Auto" (On) position will provide automatic power to the pressure switch which will allow the motor to start when the air tank pressure is below the factory set "cut-in" pressure. When in the Start/Stop Option, the pressure switch stops the motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factor set "cut-out" pressure.
PREPARATION INITIAL SET-UP: 1. Read safety warnings before setting-up air compressor. 2. Ensure the oil level in the air compressor pump is adequate. The oil level should be at the center of the oil sight glass. If low, add Senco® part number PC0344 compressor pump oil. LOCATION: CAUTION In order to avoid damaging the air compressor, do not incline the air compressor transversely or longitudinally more than 10°. 1.
OPERATION PRE-START CHECKLIST: 1. Check oil level. Add if necessary. 2. Remove any moisture in the air compressor air tank. Remove excessive pressure with an air tool, then open the air tank drain valve in the bottom of the air tank. Close tightly when drained. WARNING Risk of bodily injury. NEVER attempt to open the drain valve when more than 10 PSI of air pressure is in the air tank! 3. Make sure the air compressor Motor Switch is in the "OFF" position. 4.
TROUBLESHOOTING SYMPTOM 1. Motor will not run or restart. PROBABLE CAUSE Power cord not plugged in. REMEDY Plug cord into grounded outlet. Motor/Pressure switch in "OFF" position. Move switch to "AUTO" position. Motor thermal overload switch has tripped. Turn air compressor off, wait until motor is cool, then press motor thermal overload (red) button firmly until click is heard. Fuse blown or circuit breaker has tripped. Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
TROUBLESHOOTING 3. SYMPTOM When in the Start/Stop option, motor runs continuously. PROBABLE CAUSE Motor/Pressure switch does not shut off motor when air compressor reaches "cut-out" pressure and safety relief valve activates. REMEDY Move the motor/pressure switch to the "Off" position. If the motor doesn't shut off, unplug the air compressor. If the electrical contacts are welded together, replace the pressure switch. Air compressor is incorrectly sized.
TROUBLESHOOTING SYMPTOM 11. Insufficient pressure at air tool or accessory. PROBABLE CAUSE Pressure regulator knob not turned to high enough pressure or defective pressure regulator. REMEDY Adjust pressure regulator knob to proper setting or replace. Restricted air intake filter. Clean or replace. Air leaks. Check for leaks and repair. Hose or hose connections are too small or long. Replace with larger hose or connectors. Slipping belt. Tighten or replace.
