CAUSE
Pressure switch does
not shut off motor when
compressor reaches "cut-
out" pressure.
Pressure switch "cut-out"
too high.
Tube fittings are not tight
enough.
Check valve seat damaged. A defective check valve results in
Defective pressure switch
release valve.
Defective air tank.
Leaking seal.
It is normal for "some"
pressure drop to occur.
Possible defect in safety
valve.
Move Auto/Off lever to the "Off"
position, if the unit does not shut off
contact a Trained Service Technician.
