Splash Lubricated, Air Compressor Pumps

         Problem   

 

Possible Causes 

 

 

 

Resolutions

Low air pressure

Overheating

1.   Clogged inlet filter
2.   Air leak(s) in system

3.   Application exceeds rated air output of   
 

compressor

4.   Cylinder head valves not sealing

5.   Insufficient power

1.   Duty cycle exceeded

2.   Improper rotation

3.   Head valve(s) not seating properly
4.   Blown cylinder head gasket(s)
5.   Restriction in head, intercooler or check valve
6.   Low oil

7.   Dirt in intercooler fins or cylinder fins

8.   Poor ventilation / ambient temperature too  
 

high

1.   Disassemble valve, clean thoroughly
2.   Use soapy water to locate leaks, replace or  
 

tighten threaded parts

3.   Check CFM requirements, change tool or use  
 

compressor with higher air output

4.   Remove valves from cylinder head, repair or  
 

replace as necessary

5.   Check power supply, rewire as necessary

1.   Keep duty cycle at 60/40 to maintain pump life

2.   When facing flywheel, ensure   

 

 

counter-clockwise rotation

3.   Clean or replace
4.   Replace gasket(s)
5.   Clear blockage
6.   Add oil. Ensure oil level is at middle of site  
 

glass. See figure 5, pg. 6.

7.   Use low pressure air to blow dirt away from  
 

compressor

8.   Increase ventilation around operating area.  
 

Ensure compressor has adequate clear  

 

space from walls and other possible    

 

obstructions. Ambient temperature should not  

 

exceed 110˚ F.

Use only Airbase Industries Oil  
(PN:APOL03000G1). Use of any 
other product will cause product 
damage  and void the warranty.
