POSSIBLE CAUSE

1. Low voltage.
2. Open circuit in motor, switch or

cord.

3. Tank already pressurized.
4. Thermal overload switch.

1. Short circuit in line cord or plug.

2. Short circuit in motor or loose

connections.

3. Incorrect fuses or circuit break-

ers in power line.

1. Air leaks in flexible hoses.
2. Pressure gauge bad
3. Pressure regulator bad.

1. Air leaks in tanks or delivery

pipes.

2. Drain cock open
3. Safety valve releasing below

125 PSI.

4. Air filter clogged.
5. Gaskets leaking

6. Worn rings.

2. Faulty pressure relief valve.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

1. Check power line for proper voltage.
2. Inspect all lead connections on motor, switch and

cord for loose or open connections.

2. Inspect and clean air filter.
3. Inspect and repair piston and connecting rod.

1. Clean dirt or debris from rubber membrane of check

valve after removing top nut.

2

Repair or replace pressure switch.

1. Open drain cocks on both tanks and make certain all

condensation water is drained out.

2. Remove delivery pipes, clean out and replace.

1. Clean cylinder head fins and also remove any accu-

mulated dirt or grease from motor area.

2. Inspect and clean air filter.
