problem
possible causes
likely Solutions
Compressor does
not start or restart
1. Tank(s) already pressurized.
2. Battery Pack not properly
connected.
3. Battery Pack not properly charged.
4. Battery Pack burnt-out.
5. Compressor needs service.
1. No problem. Compressor will start when needed.
2. Remove Battery Pack, make sure there are no
obstructions, reinsert the Battery Pack according
to its shape (it should only fit one way), and press
firmly until the Battery Pack locks in place.
3. Make sure Charger is connected and operating properly.
Give enough time for Battery Pack to recharge properly.
4. Dispose of old Battery Pack properly or recycle.
Replace Battery Pack.
5. Have unit inspected by a qualified technician.
Compressor builds
pressure too slowly
1. Battery Pack wearing out.
2. Working environment too cold.
3. Safety valve leaking.
4. Loose fittings.
1. Dispose of old Battery Pack properly or recycle.
Replace Battery Pack.
2. Move compressor to a warmer location.
3. Listen for air leaking from valve.
If leaking, replace with identical valve with same rating.
DO nOt SEAl OR tAMpER WitH SAFEty VAlVE.
4. Reduce air pressure, then check all fittings
with a soap solution for air leaks and tighten
as needed. Do not overtighten.
Compressor not
building enough
air pressure
1. Air filter needs cleaning/replacing.
2. Check Valve needs service.
3. Compressor not large enough for
job.
4. Loose fittings.
5. Hose or hose connections
too narrow.
6. High altitude reducing air output.
1. Check air filter.
Clean and/or replace as needed.
2. Have technician clean or replace, as needed.
3. Check if accessory SCFM is met by Compressor.
If Compressor cannot supply enough
air flow (SCFM), use a larger Compressor.
4. Reduce air pressure, then check all fittings
with a soap solution for air leaks and tighten
as needed. Do not overtighten.
5. Replace with wider hose and/or hose connections.
6. Higher altitudes require compressors with greater output.
Overheating
1. Air filter needs cleaning/replacing.
2. Unusually dusty environment.
1. Check air filter.
Clean and/or replace as needed.
2. Clean and/or replace air filter more often or
move unit to cleaner environment.
Compressor
starts and stops
excessively
1. Loose fittings.
2. Compressor not large
enough for job.
1. Reduce air pressure, then check all fittings
with a soap solution for air leaks and tighten
as needed. Do not overtighten.
2. Check if accessory SCFM is met by Compressor.
If Compressor cannot supply enough
air flow (SCFM), use a larger Compressor.
Excessive noise
Loose fittings.
Reduce air pressure, then check all fittings with a soap solution
for air leaks and tighten as needed. Do not overtighten.
Moisture in
discharge air
Too much moisture in air.
Install inline air filter/dryer, and/or relocate
to less humid environment.
Safety Valve “pops” Safety valve needs service.
Pull on the ring on the Safety Valve. If it still pops, replace.
Air leaks from
pump or fittings
Loose fittings.
Reduce air pressure, then check all fittings with a soap solution
for air leaks and tighten as needed. Do not overtighten.
Air leaks from tank
Defective or rusted tank.
Have tank replaced by a qualified technician.
Drain moisture from tank daily to prevent future corrosion.
Follow all safety precautions whenever diagnosing or servicing the compressor.
Disconnect power supply before service.
