PROBLEM
Compressor is not
supplying enough air to
operate accessories.
Motor will not run.
CAUSE
1.
Prolonged excessive use of air.
2.
Compressor is not large enough for air
requirement.
3.
Hole in hose.
4.
Check valve restricted or leaks air.
5.
Restricted air intake filter.
1.
Motor overload protector switch has
tripped.
2.
Tank pressure exceeds pressure switch
"cut-in" pressure.
3.
Loose electrical connections.
4.
Possible defective motor or starting
capacitor.
5.
Pressure release valve on pressure
switch has not unloaded head pressure.
6.
Fuse blown, circuit breaker tripped.
TROUBLESHOOTING
CORRECTION
1.
Decrease amount of air used.
2.
Check the accessory requirement. If it is
higher than the CFM or pressure supplied by
your air compressor, you need a larger
capacity air compressor.
3.
Check and replace if required.
4.
Remove and clean or replace check valve.
5.
Tighten fittings. Clean or replace air intake
filter (see page 13).
1.
Let motor cool for 15 minutes. Press RESET
to reset overload protector switch.
2.
Motor will start automatically when tank
pressure drops below "cut-in" pressure
setting.
3.
Check wiring connection inside pressure
switch and terminal box area.
4.
Have checked by a trained service technician.
5.
Drain pressure by setting ON - OFF switch
to OFF. If the valve does not open, replace
pressure switch.
6A. Check fuse box for blown fuse and replace as
necessary. Reset circuit breaker. DO NOT use
a fuse or circuit breaker with higher rating
than that specified for that branch circuit.
B. Check for proper fuse. Use a time delay fuse.
C. Check for low voltage conditions and/or
proper extension cord.
D. Disconnect all other electrical loads from
circuit used by air compressor OR operate
air compressor on dedicated branch circuit.
