TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
CAUSE
Possible defect in safety valve.
Defective check valve.
Prolonged excessive use of air.
Compressor is not large enough for air
requirement.
Hole in hose.
Check valve restricted.
Air leaks.
Tank pressure exceeds pressure switch
"cut-in" pressure.
Wrong gauge wire or length of exten-
sion cord.
Check valve stuck open.
Loose electrical connections.
Paint spray on internal motor parts.
Possible defective motor.
Fuse blown, circuit breaker tripped.
Pressure release valve on pressure
switch has not unloaded head pres-
sure.
Dirty or damaged regulator internal
parts.

CORRECTION
Operate safety valve manually by pulling on ring. If
valve still leaks, it should be replaced.
Remove and clean, or replace.
Decrease amount of air usage.
Check the accessory air requirement. If it is higher than
the SCFM or pressure supplied by your air compres-
sor, you need a larger compressor.
Check and replace if required.
Remove and clean, or replace.
Tighten fittings. (See Air Leaks Section of
Troubleshooting Guide.)
Motor will start automatically when tank pressure
drops below "cut-in" pressure of pressure switch.
Check for proper gauge wire and cord length.
Remove and clean, or replace.
Check wiring connection inside pressure switch and
terminal box area.
Have checked at an Authorized Warranty Service
Center. Do not operate the compressor in the paint
spray area. See flammable vapor warning.

1.
Check fuse box for blown fuse and replace, if
necessary. Reset circuit breaker. Do not use a
fuse or circuit breaker with higher rating than that
specified for your particular branch circuit.
2.
Check for proper fuse. You should be using a
time delay fuse.
3.
Check for low voltage conditions and/or proper
extension cord.
4.
Disconnect the other electrical appliances from
circuit or operate the compressor in its own
branch circuit.
Bleed the line by pushing the lever on the pressure
switch to the "off" position; if the valve does not open,
replace it.
Replace regulator.
