Troubleshooting Guide
The air compressor should be turned off and unplugged from the power source before any
maintenance isperformed as well as the air bledfrom the tank and the unit allowed time to cool.
Personal injuries could occur from moving parts, electrical sources, compressed air, or hot surfaces.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CORRECTION
Airleaks at the checkvalve Adefective check valve results in a constant air leak at the pressure relief valve
or at thepressure relief valve, when there ispressure in the tank and the compressor is shut off. Drain the tank,
then remove and clean or replace the check valve.
Air leaksbetween headand Be sure of proper torque on headbolts. If leak remains,contactaservicetechnician.
cylinder.
Air leakfrom safety valve. Operate the safety valvemanually by pulling on the ring. If the valve continues to
leak when in the closedposition,it should be replaced.
Pressure reading on the
regulated pressure gauge
drops when an accessory is
used.
If there is an excessive amount of pressure drop when the accessory is used,
replace the regulator.

NOTE:

Adjustthe regulatedpressureunder flow conditions (while accessory is being used),
It is normal for the gauge to show minimal pressure loss during initial use of the
tool.
Excessive tank pressure. Move the Auto-On/Off lever tothe Off position. Ifthe unit doesn't shut off, unplugit
from the power source and contact a service technician.
Motor will notstart. Make sure power cord isplugged in and the switchis on. Inspect for the proper size
fuse in your circuit box. Ifthe fuse was tripped, reset it and restart the unit. If
repeated tripping occurs, replace the check valve or contact a service technician.
Excessive moisture in the
discharge air.
Air leaks from the tank body
or tank welds.
Remove the water in the tank by draining after each use. High humidity
environments will cause excessive condensation. Utilize water filters on your air
line.
NOTE:
Water condensation is not caused by compressor malfunction. Be sure the
compressor's air output is greater than your tool's air consumption rate.
Never drill into,weld or otherwise modify the airtank or it will weaken. The tank can
rupture or explode. Compressor cannot be repaired. Discontinue use of the air
compressor.
