Reset Button
This compressor is equipped with
a manual reset overload protector
which will shut off motor if it becomes
overloaded.
1. Lack of ventilation, room temperature too high. Move to cooler
environment.
2. Excessive air usage, compressor too small for this application.
Lower rate of consumption.
Remove the water in the tank by draining after each use. High
humidity environments will cause excessive condensation. Utilize
water filters on your air line.
Water condensation is not caused by compressor malfunction.
Be sure the compressor's air output is greater than your tool's air
consumption rate.
Never drill into, weld or otherwise modify the air tank or it will
weaken. The tank can rupture or explode. Compressor cannot be
repaired. Discontinue use of the air compressor.
To reset the air compressor:
1. Turn the air compressor off.
2. Unplug air compressor and wait until compressor cools down.
3. Plug the air compressor into an approved outlet.
4. Turn the air compressor on.
5. Press the reset button.
If overload protector shuts motor
OFF frequently, look for the following
causes:
, Low voltage
, Lack of proper ventilation/room
temperature too high
* Wrong gauge wire or length of
extension cord
