  If your Spectrum Air Compressor isn't starting, there are several things you can check: * Ensure the regulator is turned up to engage the compressor. * Verify the cord is securely plugged in. * Confirm the circuit meets the compressor's requirements. * Reset the circuit breaker, or have the outlet serviced. * Allow the compressor to cool down for at least 30 minutes. * Reset the circuit or replace the fuse, checking for low voltage. * Use a larger diameter or shorter extension cord, or eliminate it altogether. * If none of these steps work, have the unit inspected by a qualified technician.

  If your Spectrum Air Compressor isn't building enough air pressure, start by checking all fittings for air leaks and tighten them as needed, but do not overtighten. Verify that the accessory CFM is met by the compressor; if it can't supply enough airflow, you may need a larger compressor. Remember that higher altitudes require compressors with greater output. A technician may need to clean or replace parts. Also, you may need to replace the mufflers.
