Compressor stalls
Low voltage to motor
Furnish adequate power.
Bad check valve
Replace the check valve.
Seized pump
Contact authorized service center.

Restricted air intake
Clean or replace the air filter element(s).
Oil level too high
Reduce to proper level. Use premium compressor oil.
Overheating
Poor ventilation
Relocate compressor to an area with cool, dry, well circulated air,
at least 12 in. from nearest wall.
Dirty cooling surfaces
Clean all cooling surfaces thoroughly.
Excessive belt wear
Pulley out of alignment
Realign pulley with compressor flywheel.
Improper belt tension
Readjust.
Pulley wobbles
Replace the pulley and check for a damaged crankshaft or flywheel.
Compressor won’t start
Too much back pressure in tank
Open petcock when starting motor.
in cold temperatures
40W oil in crankcase
Use SAE 30W oil.
Compressor too cold
Move compressor to a warmer location.
