Contact a qualified service center.
Contact a qualified service center.
Clean or replace the air filter element(s).
Reduce to proper level.
Relocate compressor to an area with cool, dry, well circulated air, at
least 12 in. from nearest wall.
Clean all cooling surfaces thoroughly.
Inspect and replace transfer tubes or the check valve, (see "To replace
or clean check valve" in the maintenance section).
Realign pulley with compressor flywheel.
Readjust.
Replace the pulley and check for a damaged crankshaft or flywheel.
Open petcock when starting motor.
Use synthetic blend, non-detergent air compressor oil.
Move compressor to a warmer location.
