Troubleshooting

Compressor not starting

Ensure the unit is properly plugged into a functioning power outlet. Check the circuit breaker. Verify the pressure switch is in the 'on' position.

Low air pressure or output

Check for air leaks in hoses or fittings. Clean or replace the air intake filter. Ensure the pump belt is properly tensioned.

Compressor runs continuously and does not shut off

Check the pressure switch for proper function. Inspect the unloader valve for leaks or blockages. Ensure the maximum pressure setting is not exceeded.

Excessive moisture in the air line

Drain the receiver tank more frequently. Ensure the ambient air is not excessively humid. Consider adding an air dryer if persistent.
