3� Replace or repair *

Fuses blow/

circuit breaker 

trips repeatedly

1� Incorrect size fuse, circuit overloaded

1� Check for proper fuse, use time-delay fuse� Disconnect other 

electrical appliances from circuit or operate compressor on its 

own branch circuit

2� Defective check valve or unloader

protector cuts out 

repeatedly

1� Low voltage

1� Check with voltmete

2� Clogged air filter

shaft

3� Replace

4� Cylinder or piston ring is worn or scored 4� Replace or repair as necessary
5� Loose bolts, tank not level

5� Tighten bolts, shim tank to level position

Tank pressure 

drops when 

compressor shuts 

off

1� Loose connections (fittings, tubing, etc�) 1� Check all connections with soap and water solution and 

tighten

2� Loose drain valve

2� Tighten

3� Check valve leaking

3� Disassemble check valve assembly, clean or replace *

Excessive 

moisture in 

discharge air

1� Excessive water in tank

1� Drain tank

2� High humidity

2� Move to area of less humidity; use air line filter

Compressor runs 

continuously

1� Defective pressure switch

1� Replace switch

2� Excessive air usage

2� Decrease air usage; compressor not large enough for air 

requirement

Excessive starting 

and stopping 

(auto start)

1� Excessive condensation in tank

1� Drain more often

2� Air leaks in piping (on machine or in 

outside system)

2� Replace leaking components or tighten as necessary

3� Tank check valve leaking

3� Replace or repair as necessary *

Air leaking from 

unloader on 

pressure switch

Check valve stuck in an open position

Remove and replace check valve *

*  

   

  Do not disassemble check valve with air in tank; bleed the tank.
