Why won't my California Air Tools Air Compressor motor start?
If your California Air Tools Air Compressor motor doesn't start or starts slowly, it might be due to low voltage supply. Check that the main voltage matches the air compressor's specifications. Using an extension cord that's too thin or long can cause a voltage drop. Use heavy-duty extension cords and ensure the compressor is plugged into a fully functional power outlet.
What to do if the unloader valve leaks on my California Air Tools 8010A?
If the unloader valve on your California Air Tools Air Compressor leaks when it's idle, the unloader valve seal might be defective. Release all the pressure from the air tank, then remove the unloader valve plug and clean the valve seal. If necessary, replace the seal and reinstall all components.
How to fix a pressure drop in my California Air Tools 8010A tank?
If you notice a pressure drop in the tank of your California Air Tools Air Compressor, it could be due to air leaks at the connections. Let the compressor build pressure, ideally to the maximum. Apply soapy water to the air connections and watch for bubbles. Tighten any connections that are leaking. If the problem continues, further assistance may be needed.
What to do if my California Air Tools 8010A stopped and does not start?
If your California Air Tools Air Compressor stops and won't restart, the thermal protector may have activated due to the motor overheating. Ensure the main voltage matches the compressor's specifications. A thin or long extension cord can cause a voltage drop and overheating. Also, excessive use (over 1 hour continuously) can overheat the motor. Allow the motor to cool down.
