If the motor overload protection has tripped, allow the motor to cool off to reset. Check and replace any blown fuses or reset tripped circuit breakers, ensuring replacements match the specified rating. Inspect the check valve for blockage, cleaning or replacing as needed. For a stuck pressure bleeder valve, move the pressure switch lever to the OFF position before restarting; replace the bleeder valve if it remains stuck. Confirm the cord's wire gauge and extension cord length are correct. For loose electrical connections, a defective capacitor or motor, or paint spray on internal motor parts, contact an authorized s...
