PARTS DESCRIPTION A Electric Motor The motor is used to power the pump. It is equipped with a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the thermal overload protector will shut it down in order to prevent the motor from being damaged. B Air Compressor Pump The pump compresses the air and discharges it into the tank via the piston that moves up and down in the cylinder. C Safety Valve This valve is used to prevent the compressor from building too much pressure.

MAINTENANCE ITEM DESCRIPTION / REASON Through normal operation of your air compressor, condensation of water will accumulate in the tank. To prevent corrosion of the tank from the inside, condensation must be drained at the end of every workday. Be sure to wear protective goggles. Relieve the air pressure in the system then open the Drain the tank drain valve on the bottom of the tank to drain.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTIONS The power cord is not plugged in. The on/off switch is in the O (OFF) position. The extension cord is the wrong wire gauge or is too long. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. Set the on/off switch to the ON position. The regulator or its internal parts are dirty or damaged. Replace the regulator. Check extension cord information for the proper wire gauge and cord length.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTIONS Check the fittings with soapy water. Tighten or reseal leaking fittings (apply plumber s tape on threads).Do not over tighten. Close the drain valve. The tank drain valve is open. Clean or replace the air filter element. The air intake is restricted. The pressure is Decrease the amount of air used. low or there is Prolonged excessive use of air. not enough air. There is a hole in the air hose. Check the air hose and replace it if necessary.
