Troubleshooting
Guide
The air compressor
should
be turned
off and
unplugged
from
the
power
source
before
any maintenance
is performed
as well as the air bled from
the tank and the
unit allowed
time to cool. Personal
injuries
could
occur from
moving
parts, electrical
sources,
compressed
air, or hot surfaces.
PROBLEM
Unusually
long air tank pump
up and
recovery
times.
Air leaks at the check valve or at the
pressure
relief valve.
Air leaks between
head and cylinder.
Air leak from safety valve.
Pressure
reading
on the regulated
pressure
gauge
drops
when an acces-
sory is used.
Excessive
tank pressure.
Motor
will not start.
POSSIBLE CORRECTION
Remove
air filter cap and inspect
air filter element
for restrictions.
(See air filter
maintenance
procedure
page 6)
A defective
check valve results in a constant
air leak at the pres-
sure relief valve when there
is pressure
in the tank and the com-
pressor
is shut off. Drain the tank, then
remove and clean or
replace
the check
valve.
Be sure of proper
torque
on head bolts.
If leak remains,
contact
Sears or another
qualified
service
dealer.
Operate
the safety valve manually
by pulling
on the ring. If the
valve continues
to leak when in the closed
position,
it should
be
replaced.
If there
is an excessive
amount
of pressure
drop when the acces-
sory is used,
replace
the regulator.
Adjust
the regulated
pressure
under flow conditions
(while
acces-
sory is being used).
It is normal
for the gauge to show minimal
pressure
loss during
initial
use of the tool.
Move the Auto-On/Off
switch
to the Off position.
If the unit
doesn't
shut off, unplug
it from the power
source
and contact
Sears or another
qualified
service
dealer.
Make sure the Thermal
Overload
Switch
on the back of the motor
is pushed
in.
Make sure power
cord
is plugged
in and the switch
is on. Inspect
for the proper
size fuse in your circuit
box. If the fuse was tripped,
reset it and restart
the unit. If repeated
tripping
occurs,
replace
the check valve or contact
Sears or another
qualified
service
dealer.
