ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
PROBLEM
The motor will
not run or start
The regulator
does not
regulate the
pressure.
The motor runs
continuously
when the
power switch
is in the ON
position.
POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTIONS
The power cord is not plugged in.
Plug the power cord into a grounded
outlet.
The power switch is in the O (OFF) position. Set the power switch to the ON position.
The extension cord is the wrong wire gauge
or is too long.
Check extension cord information (page 6)
for the proper wire gauge and cord length.
The motor’s thermal overload protection
has tripped.
A fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has
been tripped.
The prower switch does not shut off the
motor when the air compressor reaches
the cut-out pressure and the safety valve
activates.
The air tank pressure exceeds the preset
power switch limit.
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, and wait
for at least 5 minutes to make sure the
thermal overload protector has recovered.
Set the power switch to the OFF position. If
the motor does not shut off, unplug the air
compressor. If the power switch is
defective, replace it.
Replace the regulator.
The compressor’s capacity is not enough.
The regulator or its internal parts are dirty
or damaged.
Check the air requirements of the
accessory that is being used. If it is higher
than the CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute )and
pressure supplied by the compressor
(page 7), a larger capacity air compressor
is needed. Most accessories are rated at
25% of actual CFM while running
continuously.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit
breaker.
Verify that the fuse has the proper
amperage.
Disconnect any other electrical appliances
from the circuit or operate the compressor
on a dedicated circuit.
The motor will start automatically when
the tank pressure drops below the cut-in
pressure.
The motor, capacitor, or safety valve is
defective.
The safety valve is stuck open. Clean or replace the safety valve.
Electrical connections are lose. Contact an authorized service center.
Contact an authorized service center.
Check for low voltage conditions.
