How to troubleshoot low pressure in Blue Hawk 0120212A?

  If your Blue Hawk Air Compressor has low pressure, isn't providing enough air, or doesn't stop, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the tank drain valve is closed. Next, inspect the fittings for leaks using soapy water, and tighten or reseal them if necessary, being careful not to overtighten. Also, consider whether you are using an excessive amount of air; if so, decrease the usage. Check if your compressor is adequately sized for your accessories, and if not, consider a larger compressor. Inspect the air hose for holes and replace if needed. If the tank is leaking, replace it immediately and do not attempt to repair it. Finally, blown seals, valve leaks, or a leaking/worn piston will require replacing the compressor assembly.

What to do if regulated pressure drops on Blue Hawk Air Compressor?

  If the regulated pressure gauge reading drops when you use an air accessory with your Blue Hawk Air Compressor, this is often normal. If the pressure drops too low, adjust the regulator while the accessory is in use. However, also ensure that your compressor is large enough for the accessory's air requirements. If the accessory requires more CFM and pressure than the compressor provides, you may need a larger compressor.

Why does the pressure relief valve open on my Blue Hawk 0120212A Air Compressor?
- D
  Dana WalkerAug 18, 2025
  If your Blue Hawk Air Compressor's pressure relief valve opens, it's likely due to the tank pressure exceeding its normal rating or the pressure switch being stuck. In either case, the suggested solution is to replace the pressure switch.

  If air leaks from the regulator or the regulator doesn't regulate pressure on your Blue Hawk Air Compressor, it is caused by dirty or damaged regulator internal parts. Replace the regulator or its internal parts.

What to do if Blue Hawk 0120212A Air Compressor motor will not run?
- J
  James McbrideDec 1, 2025
  If your Blue Hawk Air Compressor motor won't run, it could be due to several reasons: The tank pressure might exceed the preset pressure switch limit; the motor will start automatically when the tank pressure drops below the cut-in pressure. A fuse might be blown, or a circuit breaker tripped; replace the fuse or reset the breaker, ensuring it matches the specified rating. Use a "Fusetron" type T fuse if needed. Low voltage or an improperly sized extension cord could be the issue; check these. Disconnect other applications from the circuit or operate the compressor on a dedicated circuit. A stuck-open check valve could also prevent the motor from running; remove, clean, or replace it. An incorrect wire gauge in the cord or an excessively long extension cord could be the problem; verify the...
