MAINTENANCE 

  Make sure that electrical and fitting connections are regularly inspected, cleaned and tightened when needed. 

  Make sure mounting screws are regularly tightened if needed. 

  Drain weekly, to avoid excessive buildup of condensation. 

  Compressor features a washable air filter which should be cleaned using any mild form of liquid soap every 

two months if it gets dusty. Just remove the front cover of the filter

’s housing to reach it. Replacement time 

frames depend on the operating environment and how often it is used. 

  Clean dirt and dust from heat spreader and motor housing of the compressor. 

 

The motor of the air compressor has a maintenance-free lasting lubricant. 

DO NOT LUBRICATE

.

 

SOLUTIONS TO COMMON ISSUES 

Issue: Compressor inoperable. 

Solution 1: Check all switches to make sure they are ON. 
Solution 2: Check the fuse; if blown, disconnect compressor from power and replace the fuse. 
Solution 3: Allow compressor to cool off for 30-60 minutes. 
Solution 4: Check pressure switch, replace if damaged or inoperable. 

 
Issue: Air horn is inaudible 

Solution 1: Check all switches to make sure they are ON. 
Solution 2: Assure air tank is pressurized. 
Solution 3: Check the fuse; if blown, disconnect compressor from power and replace the fuse.  
Solution 4: Examine electrical connection for damage or corrosion, secure electrical connections. 

 
Issue: Excessive moisture in horn or safety valve. 

Solution 1: Depressurize and drain the tank. 
Solution 2: Relocate the compressor to a drier location. 

 
Issue: Continual cutting-off of Thermal overload protection. 

Solution 1: Relocate the compressor to a drier, cooler location. 
Solution 2: Replace the compressor. 

 
Issue: Excessive vibration or noise 

Solution 1: Tighten system components. 
Solution 2: Replace the compressor.  

 
Issue: Loss of pressure of tank when compressor is shut off. 

Solution 1: Tighten drain cock. 
Solution 2: Examine air and check valves and replace if damaged or leaking. 
Solution 3: Use soap and water solution on air connections, and tighten connections or repair leaks where needed. 
Solution 4: Replace safety valve, it may be defective. 

 
Issue: Compressor runs continuously and has low air flow. 

Solution 1: Decrease the frequency of use. 
Solution 2: Use soap and water solution on air connections, and tighten connections or repair leaks where needed. 
Solution 3: Clean or replace the air filter element if it is clogged.  
Solution 4: Replace compressor. 

 
Issue: Safety valve trips repeatedly due to overuse  

Solution 1: Replace pressure switch. 
Solution 2: Replace safety valve.
