Possible Cause Solution1. Loss of power or overheating.2. There is no electrical power beingsupplied to compressor or, the powerswitch is in the OFF position.3.Afuse has blown at the power supply.4.A breaker has tripped at the powersupply.5. Thermal overload open.ProblemThe compressor does not run.The motor hums, but does not run orruns slowly.The fuses blow or the circuit breakertrips repeatedly.The thermal overload protector cuts outrepeatedly.The air receiver pressure drops whenthe compressor shuts off.There is excessive moisture in the airdischarge.Air is leaking from the compressor.The compressor runs continuously6.The pressure switch is bad.7.Tank is full of air.1.The voltage from the power supply is tow.2. The gauge wire or the length of extensioncord is wrong.3. The motor winding is shorted or broken.4. The unloader or check valve is defective.1.The fuse size is incorrect or the circuit isoverloaded.2. The gauge wire or the length of extensioncord is wrong.3. The unloader or check valve is defective.1.The voltage from the power supply is tow.2.A poorly ventilated room is causing themotor to overheat.3. The gauge wire or the length of extensioncord is wrong.1.The connections are loose or leaking(fittings, tubing, etc.).2.The drain valve is loose.3. The check valve is leaking.1.There is excessive water in the air tank.2.The humidity is high.1.The hose connection is loose orimproperly sealed.2. The air hose is broken or damaged.1.The tank drain valve is open.2. The pressure switch is defective.3. The usage is excessive.1. Check for proper use of extension cord.2. Check to be sure the compressor is pluggedin and the power switch is in the ON position.3. Replace the fuse at the power supply.4. Reset the breaker at the power supply anddetermine why the problem happened.5. First unplugged the compressor and waituntil it becomes cool. Motor will restart whencool.6. Replace the pressure switch.7. Compressor wilt turn on when tank pressuredrops to cut-in pressure.1. Check the voltage with a voltmeter.2. Use the correct wire gauge and lengthextension cord.3. Take the compressor to a service center.4. Take the compressor to a service center.1. Check the fuse or breaker at the powersupply is the correct size and type. Besure to use only time-delay fuses to avoidoverloading a curcuit, disconnect otherelectrical appliances from circuit or operatecompressor on its own branch circuit.2. Use the correct wire gauge and lengthextension cord.3. Take the compressor to a service center.1. Check the voltage with a voltmeter.2. Move the compressor to well-ventilated area.!The compressor vibrates. 1.The compressor mounting bolts areloose.The air output is lower than normal. 1.The inlet valves are broken. 1. Take the compressor to a service center.2. The connections are leaking. 2.Apply thread sealing tape to fitting andtighten.133. Check for proper gauge wire and cordlength.1. Check all the connections with soapy waterand look for bubbles. Tighten any looseconections until the leak stops.2. Tighten the drain valve.3. Take the compressor to a service center.Do not disassemblecheck valve while air is in tank - emptythe all the air out of the tank beforedissasembly.1. Drain the tank to remove water.2. Move the compressor to an area of lesshumidity or use an air line filter to reducemoisture discharge in the tank.1. Ensure connections are sealed with threadsealing tape and tightened.2. Replace the air hose.1. Ensure the tank drain valve is closed.2. Take the compressor to a service center.3. Decrease the amount of tool run-time; thecompressor is not large enough to supply theair requirement of the tool.1. Tighten mounting bolts.
