Bostitch CAP60PB-OF Compressor F.A.Q.

How do I properly start the Bostitch CAP60PB-OF Compressor?

To start the Bostitch CAP60PB-OF Compressor, ensure it is on a flat surface, connect the power cord to a grounded outlet, turn the power switch to the 'On' position, and allow the tank to pressurize to the cut-out pressure.

What should I do if the compressor does not start?

Check the power supply and ensure the cord is properly connected. Verify that the pressure switch is set to 'On'. If the problem persists, inspect the fuse or circuit breaker and replace if necessary.

How can I perform regular maintenance on the compressor?

Perform regular maintenance by checking the air filter, draining the tank of moisture after each use, and inspecting hoses and connections for wear or damage. Lubricate moving parts as needed.

Why is my compressor losing pressure quickly?

Check for leaks in the hoses, fittings, and tank. Tighten any loose connections and replace damaged components. Ensure the drain valve is fully closed.

How do I drain the moisture from the compressor tank?

To drain moisture, turn off and unplug the compressor. Slowly open the drain valve located at the bottom of the tank and allow the moisture to fully drain. Close the valve securely after draining.

What is the recommended operating pressure for this compressor?

The recommended operating pressure is typically around 90-100 PSI. Refer to the user manual for specific tools and applications to ensure proper pressure settings.

Can I use an extension cord with the compressor?

It is not recommended to use an extension cord. If necessary, use a heavy-duty cord of 12-gauge or thicker, and limit the length to reduce voltage drop.

What should I do if the compressor is overheating?

If the compressor overheats, turn it off and allow it to cool down. Ensure the air vents are unobstructed and the ambient temperature is within operational limits.

How can I reduce noise from the compressor during operation?

To reduce noise, place the compressor on a rubber mat to absorb vibrations, and ensure it is at a distance from walls or reflective surfaces. Regular maintenance can also help minimize noise.

What type of oil should I use for the compressor?

The Bostitch CAP60PB-OF Compressor is oil-free and does not require oil for operation. Regular maintenance should focus on other components as outlined in the manual.
