Problem

Possible Cause

Solutions

Excessive oil 

discharge in air 

(All Compres-

sors have a 

small amount of 

oil carry over in 

compression

1. Worn piston rings or cylinder

2. Restricted air intake

3. Oil level to high

4. Compressor has exceeded it 

duty cycle

1. Clean or replace air filters

2. Reduce oil level to recom-

mended amount

3. Reduce compressor duty cycle 

(repair leaks or add another unit to 

handle the excess demand)

Compressor 

Overheating

1. Poor ventilation

2. Dirty cooling surfaces

3. Compressor is out of its operat-

ing duty cycle

1. Relocate compressor to any 

area with better ventilation (at 

least 18 inches from the nearest 

wall)

2. Clean all cooling surfaces

3. Reduce compressor duty cycle 

(repair leaks or add another unit to 

handle the excess demand)

Excessive Belt 

Wear

1. Pulley out of alignment

2. Improper belt tension

3. Pulley damaged of loose

1. Realign pulley with flywheel

2. Re adjust belt tension

Compressor 

wont start in 

cold weather

1. Bad check valve

2. Compressor has wrong grade oil

3. Control lines frozen

1. Use IS 100 (30W) compressor 

oil for cold weather conditions

2. Move compressor to a warmer 

location

3. Put a heat lamp on compres-

sor to maintain above freezing 

temperatures

Compressor 

Motor Hums 

wont start

1. Fuse or Breaker blown in main 

panel (or fuse in fused disconnect 

if applicable)

2. Low voltage to compressor

3. Compressor starting with head 

pressure

4. Power leads in motor or mag-

netic starter loose

5. Starter or Pressure switch 

contacts corroded or broken

1. Re-set breaker or replace blown 

fuse

2. Inspect check valve for proper 

operation

3. Check all power wire lead to 

solid connection

4. Replace starter and Pressure 

switch
