protector cuts out temperature too high
repeatedly
2. Excessive air usage, compressor too
small
Tank pressure drops 1. Open tank drain valve
when compressor
2. Loose connections (fittings, tubing,
shuts off
air hose, any connections, etc.)
3. Tank leaks

If a leak is detected, tighten. Or remove fitting and
apply pipe tape to threads and reassemble.
4. Replace pump / motor assembly
1. Drain tank, tilt tank to remove moisture
2. Move to area of less humidity; use air line filter
1. Replace pressure switch
2. Replace safety valve with genuine replacement part
