What to do if the safety valve is releasing on my KMR Air Compressor receiver tank?
If the safety valve on your KMR Air Compressor's air receiver tank is releasing, it could be due to a defective pressure switch or improper adjustment. Check the pressure switch or make a proper adjustment. If the problem continues, replace the pressure switch. It can also be caused by a defective safety valve; in this case, replace the safety valve.
How to troubleshoot a KMR Air Compressor that will not start?
If your KMR Air Compressor won't start, it could be due to a loose electrical connection. Check the wiring connection. Alternatively, the motor may have overheated. Press the reset button or wait for an automatic reset.
Why is my KMR KV 350-15 discharging oil and forming excessive carbon?
Oil discharge and excessive carbon formation in your KMR Air Compressor can occur due to several reasons: * Using improper oil viscosity. Replace the oil with SAE 10W-30 non-detergent compressor oil. * Overfilling the crankcase with oil. Drain the oil and fill it to the proper level. * A restricted air intake filter. Clean or replace the filter. * Carbon exhaust valves. Clean or replace the carbon exhaust valves. * Worn valves. Replace the valve assembly. * Worn piston rings. Replace the piston ring. * High ambient temperature and/or humidity. Install a moisture separator and/or dryer followed by an oil filter. * A high percentage of running time. Check for air leakage; if no leaks are found, you may require an additional compressor unit because your air demand is too muc...
