TROUBLESHOOTING
If your air compressor does not start
Check that you have plugged the power lead into a
standard 240V 10Amp power point and turned the
switch ON.
Check that you have turned on the air compressor
by lifting the ON/OFF button UP.
The air tank may be full. Use your air tool and the
air compressor should start when the pressure
decreases to 85PSI.
Check that the reset button has not been activated.
If your air compressor does not build up pressure
Check that the tank drain tap is sealed.
Air filter could dirty or blocked, replace air filter.
If your air compressor smells like burnt oil
Check the oil level as it may be low.
If your air compressor does not hold pressure
Check your hose and tool for leaks and
fix as appropriate.
Check that drain valve is sealed.
Check Nitto style fitting with soapy water mix and if
bubbles then call Smart Marketing Group for options.
If these tips do not work please have your unit

Belt tension
Correct belt tension is paramount to a safe and reliable air
compressor. Too tight a belt can cause damage to bearings and
premature motor failure. These failures will not be covered by
warranty. Too loose a belt can cause poor performance and
excess heat due to slippage which can also lead to premature
component failure. This will not be covered by warranty. To
check the belt tension, gently push down midway between the
two pulleys the belt should only move between 10mm – 15mm
(Pic. 18). If the belt moves more that this amount then you will
need to tighten the belt.
To adjust the belt tension, follow these simple steps;
1. Loosen the motor bolts (Pic. 19).
2. Slide the motor forward or backward to
correct position.
3. Tighten the motor bolts.
4. Check belt tension and repeat if needed.
5. If uncertain about attempting the above steps please
consult an authorised service agent.
Belt straightness
Belt straightness is paramount to a safe and reliable air
compressor. The belt should always run in a straight line
between the two (2) pulleys. If the belt is on an angle this
could cause excessive strain and wear on components. This will
not be covered by warranty. The belt should run parallel to the
two pulleys. If not, adjust.
To adjust the belt straightness, follow these simple steps;
1. Loosen the pump bolts (Pic. 20).
2. Slide the pump to the appropriate position.
3. Tighten the pump bolts.
4. Check belt straightness and repeat if needed.
5. Check belt tension and correct if necessary.
