PC C3551 Air Compressor

Oil lubed.

Just cracked the box and went through the break-in procedure. Tried my
framer and finish nailers and it works great. Mobility is really good.

One negative: this sucker is LOUD! Unfortunately I was looking for a
quieter type(hence the oil lube choice). It has a removable console. I
guess I could wheel it as far away as I can go with a good extension
cord and the distance will help with the noise.

Ron: If you put an extension cord on it, be sure and look in the book
that comes with it. I am thinking that the model you have requires a
10 amp extension.

I know for mine, until I bought a 10 amp cord it started really hard
and was prone to overheating. Correct cord = no more problems.

Wow... no kiddin. Thanks for catching that, there is a world of
difference.

I did indeed mean <10 gauge>, not 10 amp, which is a worthless, skinny,
weedeater cord.

Thanks -

Instead of the extension cord, use more hose. Tom

That's really disappointing. PC literature suggests that it is supposed to
be quiet. 83dba, cast iron, etc. hmmm. 85 DBa is a typical construction
site and kitchen garbage disposal is 80 DBa. I guess your comprssor falles
between the two.

I'm thinking you mean 10 gauge, rather than 10 amp cords, Robert?

PS. I'm not nit-picking on simple grammar or spelling here...there is a
serious difference.
