repeatedly.
POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Replace with new rings. Maintain oil level and
change oil more frequently.
2. Clean or replace filter. Check for other
restrictions in the intake system.
3. Drain down to full level.
4. Use Mobil 1 10W-30 or full synthetic.
®
1. Drain tank more often. At least daily.
2. Add a filter to reduce the amount of water in
the air line.
1. Check incoming voltage. It should be
approximately 120 volts. Low voltage could be
due to wires (from breaker/fuse to outlet) being
too small in diameter and / or too long. Have a
qualified electrician check these conditions and
make repairs as needed.
2. Do not use an extension cord. Use longer air
hose with larger diameter.
4. Check all electrical connections.
5. Replace pressure switch.
6. Replace check valve.
DANGER
Risk of Explosion. Do not
disassemble check valve with air
pressure in tank.
7. Replace unloader valve.
8. Replace capacitor(s).
9. Replace motor.
1. Move compressor to well-ventilated area.
