Air Leaking
Loose fittings
Needle valve (while running)
Needle valve (while shut off)
(AKA: check valve)
Compressor Runs Continuously
Pressure switch
No Air Pressure
Line kinked; compressor not on
SUGGESTED FIX
Check fittings for leaks. If leaks are at
fittings: drain tank; disconnect fitting; and
reconnect it properly.
Check needle valve for leak. If needle valve
is leaking while game is running: unplug the
Air Compressor, remove needle valve using
a wrench; clean out needle valve (with hot,
soapy water); spray a light oil lubricant into
the needle valve (such as WD-40); install
needle valve. If problem continues, replace
with new needle valve.
If needle valve is leaking when the
compressor shuts off, the problem is the
check valve, not the needle valve. Unplug
the compressor and drain the tank; remove
check valve using a wrench; carefully take
apart the check valve and clean (with hot,
soapy water); spray a light oil lubricant on
parts (WD-40); reassemble valve; install
check valve. If problem continues, replace
with new check valve.
If the BSR Air Compressor runs
continuously, and there is not a constant
leak, then you need to adjust the pressure
switch. If the problem continues, replace
with a new pressure switch.
Check air line for kinks; check power.
