Bostitch CAP2060P Compressor F.A.Q.

How do I set up the Bostitch CAP2060P Compressor for first-time use?

To set up the Bostitch CAP2060P Compressor, first ensure it is placed on a stable surface. Check that the power switch is in the 'off' position, then connect it to a power source. Attach the air hose securely to the compressor outlet and ensure all connections are tight. Finally, turn the power switch to 'on' and adjust the pressure regulator to the desired setting.

What maintenance steps are necessary for the Bostitch CAP2060P Compressor?

Regular maintenance includes checking for air leaks, cleaning or replacing the air filter, draining moisture from the tank after each use, and inspecting hoses for wear and tear. Additionally, ensure that the compressor oil is at the appropriate level if applicable.

How can I troubleshoot if the compressor does not start?

If the compressor does not start, check that the power switch is 'on' and that the unit is plugged into a functioning outlet. Verify that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Inspect the power cord for damage and ensure the safety valve is not engaged. If the issue persists, consult the manual or contact customer support.

What should I do if the compressor builds pressure slowly?

If the compressor builds pressure slowly, check for air leaks around the fittings and hoses. Ensure the air filter is clean and not obstructed. Inspect the intake and exhaust valves for proper operation. If necessary, consult a technician to examine the compressor pump and motor.

Why is my compressor shutting off automatically?

The compressor may shut off automatically due to overheating, which could be caused by a clogged air filter, insufficient ventilation, or prolonged use. Allow the unit to cool, clean the air filter, and ensure adequate airflow around the compressor.

How do I adjust the pressure on my Bostitch CAP2060P Compressor?

To adjust the pressure, locate the pressure regulator knob on the compressor. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the pressure or counterclockwise to decrease it. Monitor the pressure gauge to achieve the desired pressure setting.

What is the best way to store the compressor when not in use?

When storing the compressor, release any pressure from the tank and disconnect the power source. Store it in a dry, clean area away from moisture and dust. Cover the unit to protect it from debris and ensure it's not exposed to extreme temperatures.

How can I replace the air filter on the Bostitch CAP2060P Compressor?

To replace the air filter, first ensure the compressor is off and unplugged. Locate the air filter housing, remove the cover, and take out the old filter. Insert a new filter of the same type and replace the cover securely.

What precautions should I take when using the compressor in cold weather?

In cold weather, allow the compressor to warm up before use by running it without any load for a few minutes. Use synthetic oil if applicable, as it performs better in low temperatures. Ensure hoses are flexible and not brittle due to the cold.

How do I safely drain moisture from the compressor tank?

To drain moisture, turn off and unplug the compressor. Place a container under the drain valve, then slowly open the valve to release air and moisture. Once completely drained, close the valve securely before storing or using the compressor again.
