Troubleshooting
Problem
There is low pressure, not
enough air, or the
compressor does not stop.
Air leaks from the regulator
or the regulator does not
regulate air pressure.
The regulated pressure
gauge reading drops when
the air accessory is being
used.
The pressure relief valve
opens.
The motor will not run.
Possible Cause
The tank drain valve is open.
□
There is a leak in the fittings.
There is a prolonged or excessive
□
use of air.
The compressor is not large
□
enough.
There is a hole in the air hose.
□
The tank leaks.
□
The seals are blown.
□
The valve leaks.
□
There is a leaking or worn piston.
The internal parts of the regulator
□
are dirty or damaged.
This is normal.
□
□
The compressor is not large
enough.
The tank pressure exceeds the
□
normal rating pressure.
□
The pressure switch is stuck.
Tank pressure exceeds the
□
preset pressure switch limit.
The fuse is blown or the circuit
□
breaker tripped.
The check valve is stuck in the
□
open position.
The wire gauge in the cord is
□
wrong or the extension cord
length is excessive.
□
There are loose electrical
connections.
The motor's thermal overload
□
protection has tripped.
The motor, capacitor or safety
□
valve is defective.
Close the drain valve.
□
Check fittings with soapy water. Tighten or reseal leaking
□
fittings. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Decrease the amount of air used.
□
Check the air requirement of the accessory. If it is higher
□
than the CFM and the pressure supplied by the compressor,
you need a larger compressor. Most accessories are rated
at 25% of the actual CFM while running continuously.
Check and replace if necessary.
□
WARNING:
□
attempt to repair.
Replace the compressor assembly.
□
□
Replace the compressor assembly.
Replace the compressor assembly.
□
Replace the regulator or internal parts.
If the pressure drops too low, adjust the regulator while
□
the accessory is used.
Check the air requirement of the accessory. If it is higher
□
than the CFM and the pressure supplied by the compressor,
you need a larger compressor. Most accessories are rated
at 25% of the actual CFM while running continuously.
Replace the pressure switch.
□
□
Replace the pressure switch.
The motor will start automatically when the tank pressure
□
drops below the tank cut-in pressure.
Replace the blown fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Do not
□
use a fuse or circuit breaker with a higher rating than
specified for your branch circuit. Check for proper fuse;
type T fuse is acceptable. Check for low voltage and proper
extension cord size. Disconnect other applications from
the circuit. Operate the compressor on a dedicated circuit.
Remove and clean or replace.
□
Check for proper gauge and extension cord length.
□
□
Contact an authorized service center.
□
Turn the air compressor off, unplug the power cord and
wait until the motor has cooled down. Plug in the power
cord only after the motor has cooled down.
Have the compressor serviced by a qualified technician.
