    If your Pittsburgh Automotive Power Pump isn't starting, first ensure the cord is properly plugged into the outlet. Then, check if the outlet has power. If not, turn off the tool and inspect the circuit breaker. If the breaker tripped, confirm the circuit's capacity is suitable for the tool and that no other devices are overloading the circuit. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the tool may have internal damage or wear, and you should have a qualified technician service it.

    If your Pittsburgh Automotive Power Pump is operating slowly or overheating, the extension cord may be too long or the wire size may be too small. Try eliminating the use of an extension cord. If you must use one, opt for a shorter, heavier gauge cord.
