Why is my Central Pneumatic Air Compressor building pressure too slowly?
- KKevin ThomasAug 8, 2025
Several factors can cause your Central Pneumatic Air Compressor to build pressure slowly: 1. The power supply might be incorrect; ensure the circuit matches the compressor's requirements. 2. The crankcase oil may be overfilled or too thick; drain the oil and refill to the proper level with the recommended oil. 3. The working environment might be too cold; move the compressor to a warmer location and check that the recommended oil is in the crankcase. 4. The safety valve could be leaking; listen for air leaks and replace the valve with an identical one if necessary. Do not seal or tamper with the safety valve. 5. There might be loose fittings; reduce air pressure, check all fittings with a soap solution for air leaks, and tighten as needed, being careful not to overtighten.
