Air Filter - Inspection and Replacement Air Filter - Inspection and Replacement Air Filter - Inspection and Replacement Air Filter - Inspection and Replacement Air Filter - Inspection and Replacement
Keep the air filter clean at all times. Do not operate the
compressor with the air filter removed.
A dirty air filter will not allow the compressor to operate at full
capacity. Before you use the compressor, check the air filter
to be sure it is clean.
If it is dirty, simply pull it out. You may wash it with a mild
detergent and warm water, or replace it.

Motor
The motor has an automatic reset thermal overload protec-
tor. If the motor overheats for any reason, the overload
protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed
to cool down before restarting. The compressor will auto-
matically restart after the motor cools.
If the overload protector shuts the motor off frequently,
check for a possible voltage problem. Low voltage can also
be suspected when:
1. The motor does not get up to full power or speed.
2. Fuses blow out when starting the motor; lights dim and
remain dim when motor is started and/or is running.

Replacement
1. Release all air pressure from air tank and disconnect
power from outfit.
2. Remove shroud.
3. Loosen the top and bottom nuts and remove the outlet
tube.
4. Remove the pressure release tube and fitting.
5. Unscrew the check valve (turn counterclockwise) using
a socket wrench.
6. Check that the valve disc moves freely inside the check
valve and that the spring holds the disc in the upper,
closed position. The check valve may be cleaned with
a strong solvent.
7. Apply sealant to the check valve threads. Reinstall the
check valve (turn clockwise).
8. Replace the pressure release tube and fitting.
9. Replace the outlet tube and tighten top and bottom nuts.
10. Replace the shroud.
2. Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage
(such as being stepped on or run over). Wind them
loosely around the compressor handle.
3. Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location.
Before you store the air compressor, make sure you do the
following:
1. Review the “Maintenance” and "Operating Procedures"
sections and perform maintenance as necessary. Be
