2-GALLON (7.6 L) AIR COMPRESSOR - 058-7000-2
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
SOLUTIONS
The motor
will not run or
start.
The power cord is not plugged in.
Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
The power switch is in the
0
(off)
position.
Set the power switch to the
I
(on) position.
The extension cord is the wrong
wire gauge or is too long.
Check Technical Specications chapter
length.
The motor’s thermal overload
protection has tripped.
Turn the air compressor off, unplug the power
cord and wait until the motor has cooled
down.
A fuse has blown or a circuit
breaker has been tripped.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Verify that the fuse has the proper amperage.
Check for low voltage conditions.
Disconnect any other electrical appliances
from the circuit or operate the compressor on
a dedicated circuit.
The air tank pressure exceeds the
preset pressure switch limit.
The motor will start automatically when the
tank pressure drops below the cut-in
pressure.
The safety valve is stuck open.
Clean or replace the safety valve.
Electrical connections are loose.
Have the compressor serviced by a qualified
technician.
The motor, capacitor or safety
valve is defective.
Have the compressor serviced by a qualified
technician.
The motor
runs
continuously
when the
power switch
is in the
I
(on)
position.
The pressure switch does not
shut off the motor when the air
compressor reaches the cut-out
pressure and the safety valve
activates.
Set the power switch to the
0
(off) position.
If the motor does not shut off, unplug the air
compressor. If the pressure switch is defective,
replace it.
The compressor’s capacity is not
enough.
Check the air requirements of the accessory
that is being used. If it is higher than the SCFM
(Standard Cubic Feet per Minute, page 3) and
pressure supplied by the compressor, a larger
capacity air compressor is needed. Most
accessories are rated at 25% of actual SCFM
while running continuously.
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
SOLUTIONS
The
regulator does
not regulate
the pressure.
The regulator or its internal parts
are dirty or damaged.
Replace the regulator.
The pressure
is low or there
is not enough
air.
There is a leak at one of the
fittings.
Check the fittings with soapy water. Tighten or
reseal leaking fittings (apply Plumber's tape on
threads). Do not overtighten.
The tank drain valve is open.
Close the drain valve.
The air intake is restricted.
Clean the ventilation openings on the motor's
enclosure.
Prolonged excessive use of air.
Decrease the amount of air used.
There is a hole in the air hose.
Check the air hose and replace it if necessary.
The tank leaks.
Replace the tank Immediately. Do not attempt
to repair it.
The valve is leaking.
Check for worn parts and replace them if
necessary.
There is
moisture in the
discharge air.
There is condensation in the air
tank caused by a high level of
atmospheric humidity or because
the air compressor has not been
running long enough.
Drain the air tank after each use. Drain the air
tank more often in humid weather and use an
air line filter.
The
compressor
overheats.
The ventilation is inadequate.
Relocate the compressor to an area with cool,
dry and well-circulated air.
Cooling surfaces are dirty.
Clean all cooling surfaces on the pump and the
motor thoroughly.
The valve is leaking.
Replace worn parts and reassemble using new
plumber's tape.
