What to do if my California Air Tools 20020 Air Compressor stopped and does not start?

  If your California Air Tools Air Compressor has stopped and won't restart, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, the thermal protector might have activated because the motor is overheating. Ensure the main voltage matches the compressor's specifications. Also, avoid using extension cords that are too thin or long, as they can cause voltage drops and overheating. Excessive use (over 1 hour continuous use) can also cause overheating, so allow the motor to cool down. If that's not the issue, the motor windings might be burned out, in which case you should contact Customer Support.

Why California Air Tools 20020 motor does not start or starts slowly?

  If the motor on your California Air Tools Air Compressor isn't starting or is starting slowly, it could be due to a low voltage supply. Check that the main voltage corresponds to the air compressor specifications. An extension cord that is too thin or too long can cause a voltage drop. Use heavy-duty extension cords and make sure the compressor is plugged into a fully functional power outlet.

  If your California Air Tools Air Compressor isn't providing as much air as it used to, and/or the compressor cuts off within a much shorter time period, open the drain valve and release the water from the tank. The tank may be full of water due to condensation.

  To fix a pressure drop in your California Air Tools Air Compressor tank, let the compressor build pressure in the tank, to the maximum pressure if possible. Brush soapy water on air connections and look carefully for air bubbles. Tighten any leaky connections. If the problem continues, contact the seller for further assistance.

  If the unloader valve on your California Air Tools Air Compressor leaks when it's idle, it's likely that the unloader valve seal is defective. Let the air in the air tank flow out until all the pressure is released. Then remove the unloader valve plug and clean the valve seal. If necessary, replace the seal and then reinstall all components.
