Troubleshooting Guide

The air compressor should be turned off and unplugged from the power source before any
WARNING
maintenance is performed as well as the air bled from the tank and the unit allowed time to
cool. Personal injuries could occur from moving parts, electrical sources, compressed air, or hot
surfaces.
PROBLEM
Air leaks at the check valve or
at the pressure relief valve.
Air leaks between head and
cylinder.
Air leak from safety valve.
Pressure reading on the
regulated pressure gauge
drops when an accessory is
used.
Excessive tank pressure.
Motor will not start.
Excessive moisture in the
discharge air.
Air leaks from the tank body or
tank welds.
A defective check valve results in a constant air leak at the pressure relief valve
when there is pressure in the tank and the compressor is shut off. Drain the tank,
then remove and clean or replace the check valve.
Be sure of proper torque on head bolts. If leak remains, contact customer service
or technician.
Operate the safety valve manually by pulling on the ring. If the valve continues to
leak when in the closed position, it should be replaced.
If there is an excessive amount of pressure drop when the accessory is used,
replace the regulator.
NOTE:
Adjust the regulated pressure under flow conditions (while accessory is being used).
It is normal for the gauge to show minimal pressure loss during initial use of the
tool.
Move the Power Switch to the Off position. If the unit doesn't shut off, unplug it from the
power source and contact customer service or technician.
Make sure power cord is plugged in and the switch is on. Inspect for the proper size fuse in
your circuit box. If the fuse was tripped, reset it and restart the unit. If repeated
tripping occurs, replace the check valve or contact customer service or technician.
NOTE:
To reset the motor overload turn ON/OFF switch OFF and wait 10 minutes
(minimum). Restart unit.
Remove the water in the tank by draining after each use. High humidity
environments will cause excessive condensation. Utilize water filters on your air
line.
NOTE:
Water condensation is not caused by compressor malfunction. Be sure the compressor's air
output is greater than your tool's air consumption rate.
Never drill into, weld or otherwise modify the air tank or it will weaken. The tank canrupture
or explode. Compressor cannot be repaired. Discontinue use of the air compressor.
