Set pressure switch in the “Auto” position. The motor will

 

"cut-in” setting.

automatically start when air tank pressure drops below "cut-in”

 

 

pressure.

23

Pressure relief valve on pressure switch has

electrical contacts are welded together, replace the pressure

 

 

switch.

26

Air compressor is not large enough for air required.

Check accessory air requirement. If higher than the CFM or

 

 

 

pressure supply of the air compressor, then larger air compressor

 

 

 

is required.

 

27

Defective pressure switch.

Replace the pressure switch.

 

28

Defective safety relief valve.

Operate safety relief valve manually by pulling on test ring. If it

 

 

still leaks, replace the safety relief valve.

29

Excessive air tank pressure.

Defective pressure switch. Replace the pressure switch.

30

Defective gaskets.

Replace and torque head bolts to 6 to 7 ft lbs.

31

Fittings not tight enough.

Warning: Drain air before tightening. Tighten fittings so air can

 

 

not be heard escaping. Check joint with soap solution. Do not

 

 

overtighten

35

Possible defective reed valve.

Remove pump head and inspect valve plate and reed valve.

 

 

Clear or replace valves as required.

36

Air compressor on uneven surface.

Do not incline the air compressor more than 10˚ in any direction

 

 

while running.

37

Crankcase overfilled with oil.

Drain oil. Refill to proper level with DEWALT synthetic oil.

38

Plugged oil dipstick vent.

Clean dipstick vent.

 

39

Water in oil due to condensation.

Drain oil. Refill to proper level with DEWALT synthetic oil.

40

Condensation in air tank caused by high level of

Drain air tank after every use. Drain air tank more often in humid

 

 

atmospheric humidity.

weather and use an air line filter.

 

41

Compressor located in damp or humid location.

Relocate the compressor.
