Overheating
Compression of air generates heat, much of which is
dissipated as air passes over the intercooler and/or
after cooler.
Overheating can be caused by:
1. Pump running backwards (reverse direction).
Proper rotation is counter-clockwise when facing
the flywheel.
2. One or more head valves are failing to seat
properly.
3. Blown cylinder head gasket. Restriction in head,
intercooler, or check valve.
4. Lack of oil (check oil level).
5.
Dirt in intercooler fins or cylinder fins-(blow out
with air).
6. Poor ventilation and ambient temperature is too
high where the compressor is stored.
Storage
When storing your compressor:
1. Be sure the unit is turned OFF.
2. Remove it from power source.
3. Rotate the regulator to set the outlet pressure to
zero.
4. Release air pressure from all hoses and air
tank(s).
5. Drain all moisture from air tank(s).
6. Fully close drain valve(s).
7. Protect electrical cabling and air hoses from
damage (such as being stepped on or driven
over). Wrap all cords and hoses loosely around
the (cooled) air compressor.
8. Place air compressor in a cool, dry, safe, and
indoor location.
