Loss of power or overheating
No electrical power
Blownshop/housefuse
Shop/house breaker open
Thermal overload is actuated
Pressure switch bad
Compressor has reached automatic shutoff
pressure
Check for proper use of extension cord
Check to be sure unit is plugged in
Check fuse/breaker
Replaceshop/houseblownfuse
Resetshop/housebreaker,determiningwhy
problem happened

Call an electrician
Move compressor to well-ventilated area
Check for proper gauge wire and cord length
Air receiver pressure drops when compressor
shuts off
Loose connections
(ttings,tubing,etc.)
Loose drain valve
Check valve leaking

Defectivepressureswitch
Excessive air usage
Take compressor to service center
Decrease air usage; compressor not large
enough for tool’s requirement
Compressor vibrates Loose mounting bolts
Tighten mounting bolts
