Not Starting

Lack of Power

1. Check that the main voltage (power supply or outlet) corresponds to the

    air compressor specifications. 

2. An extension cord that is too thin or too long can cause a voltage drop        and cause the motor to overheat.
    Extension cord of 14 gauge 25 feet is reccomended
3. Generator is too small and produces too few watts to run the air 
    compressor.

Overheating

The thermal protector turned on because the motor is overheating.

Do not run motor continuously (non-stop) for more than 1 hour.

 

Mutiple times of overheating will permenately burn and danage the motor.

Air Lock

When pressure is left in an air tank for prolong periods of time, the check valve spring can become compressed cause the motor to not start.

 
Resolve Issue:
 
1. Turn off and unplug the air compressor,
2. Drain the air tank from the drain valve.
3. Locate the check valve on the parts diagram in manual
4. Remove the hex nut cap on the check valve. (see picture below)
5. Remove the spring located inside the check valve.
6. Clean the inside of the check valve.
7. Clean and enlong the spring
8. Replace the spring and cap.
9. Close the drain valve 
10. Plug in the power cord and turn on the air compressor.

Pressure Switch

Motor not receiving power from the pressure switch.
Excess water in the air tank or usage over time can cause the pressure switch to fail.
