● Inspect air system for leaks by applying soapy
water to all joints. Tighten these joints if leaks
are discovered.
Storage
When storing your compressor:
1. Be sure the unit is turned OFF.
2. Unplug it from power source.
3. Rotate the regulator to set the outlet pressure to
zero.
4. Release air pressure from all hoses and air
tank(s).
5. Drain all moisture from air tank(s).
6. Fully close drain valve(s).
7. Protect electrical cord and air hoses from damage
(such as being stepped on or driven over). Wrap
all cords and hoses loosely around the (cooled)
air compressor.
8. Place air compressor in a cool, dry, safe, and
indoor location.
Troubleshooting
Always inspect the compressor before use, and
make sure it is in good working condition. Make
sure all air vents are clear. Check the power cable
to make sure it is intact and free from cracks, bare
wires etc. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts, most plastics are susceptible to damage from
the various types of commercial solvents.
Trouble Possible Cause Corrective Action
Compressor will not start 1. Blown fuse or circuit breaker
tripped
1. Replace or reset fuse/circuit breaker
2. Loose electrical connections 2. Check wiring connnections
Low pressure 1. Restricted air lter 1. Replace air lter
2. Defective check valve 2. Replace check valve
3. Air leak in safety valve 3. Check valve by pulling on ring. If
condition persists, replace valve
Safety valve releases Defective pressure switch Replace pressure switch
Pressure in tank falls 1. Air leaks at joints 1. Allow the compressor to build pres-
sure in the tank, to the max pressure if
possible. Spray or brush soapy water
on all air connections and look for bub-
bles. Tighten leaky connections. Do not
over-tighten.
2. If the problem continues, contact
customer support for further advice.
Unloader valve leaks when
pump is not running
Unloader valve seal defective Allow air in the air tank out until all
pressure is released. Remove the un-
loader valve plug and clean the valve
seal. If damaged, replace seal and
re-install.
Compressor stopped and will
not re-start
1. Thermal overload protector has
engaged due to motor overheat-
ing
1. Check that the main supplied
voltage corresponds to the compres-
sor specications. An inadequate
extension cord (too thin or too long)
can cause the motor to overheat due
to voltage drop. Excessive use (over
1 hour continuous) can cause motor
overheating. Allow the motor to cool
down.
2. Motor windings burn-out Contact customer support
Motor does not start and
makes a humming sound
Capacitor burn-out Contact customer support
Motor does not start or starts
slowly
Low voltage electrical supply to
motor
Check that the main supplied voltage
corresponds to the compressor speci-
cations.
An inadequate extension cord (too thin
or too long) can cause the motor to
overheat due to voltage drop.
Check power quality at outlet
