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.
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.
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 worn or
damage.
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.
Resolve Issue: Replace Pressure
Switch
Pressure switch not turning
on.
Resolve Issue: Check contacts
inside the pressure switch and tighten
