Air leaks from the regulator. Regu-
lator does not regulate pressure any
more.
The regulator has become damaged
or dirty.
Replace the regulator/internal parts.
Low PSI pressure and/or compres-
sor does not stop.
1. Tank drain valve (part 10) is
open.
2. Leaks in the unit.
3. Using too much air.
4. Air intake is obstructed.
5. Compressor is too small.

1. Tank pressure is too high.
2. Thermal overload protection on
the motor has been tripped.
3. Power source isn’t working.
4. Check valve (part 11) is stuck
open.
1. Motor will start automatically
once the tank pressure drops.
2. Let the motor cool down for a

plug it back in.
3. Examine the power source. Make
sure that your extension cord is a
high enough gauge.
4. Clean or replace the check valve.
