SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCEINSTALLATION
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Causes Likely Solutions
Compressor does
not start or restart
1. Regulator turned completely down.
2. System already pressurized.
3. Power cord not plugged
in properly.
4. Incorrect power supply.
5. No power at outlet.
6. Thermal overload switch tripped.
7. Building power supply circuit
tripped or blown fuse.
8. Cord wire size is too small or
cord is too long to properly
power compressor.
9. Compressor needs service.
1. Turn the regulator up in order to engage the Compressor.
2. No problem. Compressor will start when needed.
3. Check that cord is plugged in securely.
4. Check that circuit matches compressor requirements.
5. Reset circuit breaker, or have outlet
serviced by a qualified technician.
6. Turn Compressor off. Allow Compressor to
cool down for at least 30 minutes.
7. Reset circuit or replace fuse. Check for low voltage
conditions. It may be necessary to disconnect
other electrical appliances from the circuit or
move the compressor to its own circuit.
8. Use larger diameter or shorter extension cord or
eliminate extension cord. See Recommended Wire
Gauge for Extension Cords in Safety section.
9. Have unit inspected by a qualified technician.
Compressor builds
pressure too slowly
1. Incorrect power supply.
2. Working environment too cold.
3. Loose fittings.
1. Check that circuit matches compressor requirements.
2. Move compressor to a warmer location.
3. Check all fittings for air leaks and tighten
as needed. Do not overtighten.
Compressor not
building enough
air pressure
1. Loose fittings.
2. Compressor not large enough for
job.
3. High altitude reducing air output.
4. Check Valve needs service.
5. Muffler clogged.
1. Check all fittings for air leaks and tighten
as needed. Do not overtighten.
2. Check if accessory CFM is met by Compressor.
If Compressor cannot supply enough
air flow (CFM), use a larger Compressor.
3. Higher altitudes require compressors with greater output.
4. Have technician clean or replace, as needed.
5. Replace Mufflers according to Replacing
Mufflers on page 11.
Overheating 1. Compressor running too
high for too long.
2. Extension cord used.
3. Unusually dusty environment.
1. Leaking fittings or attached tool requirements are too high.
2. Eliminate or use shorter extension cord.
3. Move to a cleaner environment.
Compressor
starts and stops
excessively
1. Loose fittings.
2. Regulator set too low.
1. Check all fittings for air leaks and tighten
as needed. Do not overtighten.
2. Increase Regulator setting until cycling stops.
Air leaks from
pump or fittings
Loose fittings. Check all fittings for air leaks and tighten
as needed. Do not overtighten.
Air leaks from tank Defective or corroded Compressor. Have Compressor service by a qualified technician.
Drain moisture daily to prevent future corrosion.
Follow all safety precautions whenever diagnosing or servicing the compressor.
Disconnect power supply before service.
