  If your SGS Air Compressor motor is unable to run, running slowly, or getting hot, it could be due to several reasons: * A fault in the line or insufficient voltage. * A power wire that is too thin or too long. * A fault in the pressure switch. * A fault in the motor itself. * Sticking of the main compressor. To resolve these issues: 1. Check the power line. 2. Replace the power wire. 3. Repair or replace the pressure switch. 4. Repair or replace the motor. 5. Check and repair the main compressor.

Why is the pressure insufficient in my SGS Air Compressor, or why has the discharge capacity decreased?
- M
  Mrs. Jessica WeaverAug 16, 2025
  If your SGS Air Compressor's pressure is insufficient or its discharge capacity has decreased, several factors could be responsible: * The motor might be running too slowly. * The air filter could be clogged. * There might be a leakage in the safety valve or discharge pipe. * The sealing gasket could be damaged. * The valve plate might be damaged, stuck, or have carbon buildup. * The piston ring and cylinder could be worn or damaged. To address these issues: 1. Check and fix the motor's speed. 2. Clean or replace the air filter cartridge. 3. Inspect and adjust the safety valve. 4. Examine and repair the discharge pipe. 5. Check and replace the sealing gasket. 6. Replace the valve plate and clean any carbon buildup. 7. Repair or replace the piston ring and cylinder.

Why is my SGS Air Compressor using excessive oil?
- E
  Elizabeth TuckerAug 22, 2025
  Excessive oil consumption in your SGS Air Compressor can be attributed to: * An oil level that is too high. * A breather pipe that is clogged. * A worn or damaged piston ring and cylinder. To address this: 1. Maintain the oil level within the specified range. 2. Inspect and clean the breather pipe. 3. Repair or replace the piston ring and cylinder.

What causes the main compressor of my SGS Air Compressor to stick?
- J
  John BanksAug 28, 2025
  If the main compressor of your SGS Air Compressor is sticking, it could be due to: * Moving parts burnt due to insufficient oil. * Moving parts damaged or stuck by a foreign body. Check the crankshaft, bearing, connecting rod, piston, piston ring, etc., and replace if necessary.

Additional Safety Precautions

Disconnecting and Power Cable

Disconnect power before maintenance and use caution with power cables.

Preventing Unintentional Startup

Ensure the compressor is OFF before connecting to the mains supply.

Extension Lead Prohibition

Do not use extension leads as they can cause motor burnout.

Proper Storage and Maintenance

Store compressor securely and dry. Maintain with care by qualified personnel.

Disposal and Vessel Integrity

Dispose environmentally. Do not weld or modify the pressure vessel.

Assembly and Preparation

Attach Compressor Wheels

Use a spanner and washers to attach wheels.

Install Support Foot

Insert the support foot into the correct position.

Check All Fastenings

Ensure all nuts and bolts are tightened before starting.

Connect Breather Pipe to Oil Hole

Remove plug and connect breather pipe to oil-hole before running.

Install Air Filters

Screw air filters into place on both sides before starting.

Prepare Operating Environment

Set compressor in a clean, dry, ventilated area.

Verify Voltage Supply

Ensure voltage is within ±4% of the rated value.

Check Oil Level

Maintain oil level within the red circle of the sight window.

Operation and Adjustment

Initial Run for Lubrication

Run compressor unloaded for 10 minutes for lubrication.

Pressure Switch Operation

Compressor cycles automatically. Release discharge pipe air before restarting.

Understanding Pressure Gauges

Gauges show reservoir pressure and user-set outlet pressure.

Operation and Adjustment Continued

Regulate Output Pressure

Turn regulating valve knob clockwise to increase output pressure.

Stop Compressor Operation

Set the pressure switch to the 'off' position to stop the running compressor.

Vent Compressor After Use

Always vent the compressor by turning the regulator knob fully anticlockwise.

Remove Condensation

Once vented, remove condensation by unscrewing the bleed nipple.

Maintenance Procedures

Pre-Maintenance Safety Steps

Disconnect power and discharge air before performing maintenance.

Lubricating Oil Management

Check and replenish lubricating oil after initial hours and periodically.

Periodic Safety Checks

Have safety valve and pressure gauge checked by a certified centre every 6 months.

Air Tank Inspection

Check air tank for rust/damage. Annual thickness check required.

Air Filter Cleaning

Examine air filters monthly; clean sponge and covers as needed.

Troubleshooting and Checks

Check Non-Return Valve

Inspect non-return valve for leaks every 6 months.
