Troubleshooting
Prolonged excessive use of air.
POSSIBLE CAUSEPROBLEM
The pressure
is low or
there is not
enough air.
Close the ball valve.
Clean or replace the air filter element.
Check the fittings with soapy water. Tighten
or reseal leaking fittings (apply plumber’s
tape on threads). Do not over tighten.
SOLUTIONS
The tank ball valve is open.
There is a leak at one of the
fittings.
The air intake is restricted.
There is a hole in the air hose.
There is condensation in the air
tank caused by a high level of
atmospheric humidity or because
the air compressor has not been
running long enough.
The tank leaks.
The ventilation is inadequate.
Cooling surfaces are dirty.
There is
moisture in
the discharge
air.
Decrease the amount of air used.
Check the air hose and replace it if
necessary.
Replace the tank immediately. Do not
attempt to repair it.
Relocate the compressor to an area with
cool, dry and well-circulated air.
Clean all cooling surfaces on the pump
and the motor thoroughly.
Replace worn parts and reassemble using
new plumber's tape.
The
compressor
overheats.
Check for worn parts and replace them if
necessary.
Drain the air tank after each use. Drain the
air tank more often in humid weather and
use an air-line filter.
