Unplug the compressor. Check wiring connection inside pressure switch and motor terminal box area.

Have checked at Sears Service Center. Do not operate the compressor in the spray area.

Have checked at a local Sears Service Center.

1.Check fuse box for blown fuse and replace if necessary. Re-set circuit breaker. Do not use a fuse or circuit breaker with higher rating than that specified for your particular branch circuit.

2.Check for proper fuse; onty Buss Fusetron Type "T" fuses are acceptable.

3.Check for low voltage conditions and/or proper extension cord.

4.Remove check valve and clean or replace if it is stuck open or closed.

5.Disconnect the other electrical appliances from circuit or operate the compressor on its own branch circuit.

Bleed the line by pushing the lever on the pressure switch to the "OFF" position; if valve does not open, replace it.

If there is an excessive amount of pressure drop when the accessory is used, adjust the regulator following the instructions on pg. 6.

Note

Adjust the regulated pressure under flow conditions (while the accessory is being

used).
