Why is my Central Pneumatic 67708 so loud?

  Timothy MccarthySep 5, 2025
  If your Central Pneumatic Air Compressor is excessively noisy, first check the crankcase oil level, adding oil if it's low and checking for leaks. If the oil is overfilled, of incorrect thickness, or the wrong type, drain and refill to the proper level with the recommended oil. Inspect the belt guard for looseness or damage and replace it if necessary. Reduce air pressure, then check all fittings with a soap solution for air leaks, tightening as needed. Lastly, ensure the unit is on a level surface, repositioning it if needed.

Why does my Central Pneumatic Air Compressor build pressure so slowly?
- B
  brownchelseaSep 2, 2025
  If your Central Pneumatic Air Compressor is building pressure too slowly, there are several potential causes. Check that the circuit matches the compressor's requirements. If the crankcase is overfilled with oil, or the oil is too thick, drain the oil and refill it to the proper level with the recommended oil. If the working environment is too cold, move the unit to a warmer location and ensure the correct oil is in the crankcase. Listen for air leaking from the safety valve; if it's leaking, replace it with an identical valve with the same rating. Finally, check all fittings with a soap solution for air leaks and tighten as needed.

  If you're experiencing high oil consumption with your Central Pneumatic Air Compressor, start by draining the oil and refilling to the proper level with the recommended oil if the current oil is too thin. Also, make sure the unit is positioned on a level surface. Clean the crankcase vent as well.

What causes a Central Pneumatic 67708 to not build enough pressure?
- A
  Alexandra RobertsAug 29, 2025
  If your Central Pneumatic Air Compressor isn't building enough air pressure, check the inlet and outlet filters and clean or replace them as needed. If the crankcase oil is too thick, drain it and refill to the proper level with the recommended oil. A technician may need to clean or replace the check valve, as needed. Verify that the compressor is large enough for the job; if it cannot supply enough airflow (SCFM), a larger compressor is needed. Reduce air pressure, then check all fittings with a soap solution for air leaks and tighten as needed. Replace inadequate hoses or hose connections with larger ones. If you are in a high altitude location, you may need a larger compressor.

Why does my Central Pneumatic 67708 Air Compressor start and stop so often?
- M
  matthewrodriguezAug 28, 2025
  If your Central Pneumatic Air Compressor starts and stops excessively, verify that the compressor is large enough for the job. Check if the accessory SCFM is met by the compressor; if it doesn't reach the accessory SCFM, you need a larger compressor. Also, reduce air pressure, then check all fittings with a soap solution for air leaks and tighten as needed.

If the working environment is too cold, move the unit to a warmer location. Listen for air leaking from the safety valve; if it is leaking, replace it with an identical valve with the same rating.

What to do if my Central Pneumatic 67708 is overheating?
- R
  Ruth HarmonAug 25, 2025
  If your Central Pneumatic Air Compressor is overheating, begin by checking the inlet and outlet filters, cleaning or replacing them as needed. Ensure the crankcase oil is the correct type and at the proper level, adding oil if it's low and checking for leaks. If the oil is too thin or the wrong type, drain and refill with the recommended oil. If you're in an unusually dusty environment, clean or replace the filters more often, or move the unit to a cleaner location. Also, make sure the cord is of adequate gauge and length, increasing the cord size or using a shorter extension cord if necessary. Finally, ensure the unit is on a level surface, repositioning it if needed.
