Why is my Delta ShopMaster CP200 Air Compressor not supplying enough air to operate accessories?
- R
  Rebecca SmithAug 16, 2025
  If your Delta Air Compressor isn't supplying enough air, first, try decreasing the amount of air you're using. Check the accessory's air requirements and, if they exceed your compressor's SCFM or pressure, consider a larger compressor. Also, inspect the hose for holes and replace it if needed. Finally, ensure all fittings are tightened to prevent air leaks.

How to fix a Delta ShopMaster CP200 Air Compressor when the motor will not run?
- M
  Mrs. Sharon GreenAug 25, 2025
  If the motor of your Delta Air Compressor won't run, allow the compressor to cool down for about 30 minutes to reset the thermal overload switch. If it still doesn't start, empty the air from the tank and refer to the information about the thermal overload protector cutting out repeatedly. Check the fuse box for blown fuses and replace them as needed, using a time delay fuse with the correct rating. Reset the circuit breaker. Ensure you're not using an extension cord that's the wrong length or gauge. If problems persist, have it checked by a Trained Service Technician.

What to do if there are air leaks in the air tank of my Delta ShopMaster CP200?
- D
  David BairdSep 9, 2025
  If you have air leaks in the air tank or at the air tank welds of your Delta Air Compressor, the air tank must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair the leak, drill into, weld, or modify the air tank, as this will weaken it and could cause it to rupture or explode.

What to do if pressure reading drops when an accessory is used with my Delta ShopMaster CP200 Air Compressor?
- A
  Alison PattonSep 12, 2025
  It is normal for some pressure drop to occur on your Delta Air Compressor. If there is an excessive amount of pressure drop when the accessory is used, adjust the regulator following the instructions in the "Description of Operation" paragraph in the "Operation Section. NOTE: Adjust the regulated pressure under flow conditions (while accessory is being used).
