CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Replace with new rings. Maintain oil level and change oil
more frequently.
2. Clean or replace filter. Check for other restrictions in the
intake system.
3. Drain down to full level.
4. Use Mobil 1 10W-30 full synthetic.
®
1. Drain tank more often. At least daily.
2. Add a filter to reduce the amount of water in the air line.
1. Check incoming voltage. It should be approximately 120
volts. Low voltage could be due to wires (from breaker/fuse to
outlet) being too small in diameter and / or too long. Have
a qualified electrician check these conditions and make
repairs as needed.
2. Do not use an extension cord. Use longer air hose with larger
diameter.
3. Limit the circuit to the use of compressor only.
4. Check all electrical connections.
5. Replace pressure switch.
6. Replace check valve.
DANGER
Risk of Explosion. Do not
disassemble check valve with air
pressure in tank.
7. Replace unloader valve.
8. Replace capacitor(s).
9. Replace motor.
1. Move compressor to well-ventilated area.
2. Limit the circuit to the use of only the air compressor.
3. Clean or replace filter element.
4. Check all electrical connections.
