Bring the compressor to a service center.
It is normal for oil lube air compressor pumps to release
some oil into the tank and air lines. Air compressors will also
generate water condensation that will form in the tank and
air lines. Install water and oil filter traps when needed. The
Typical Compressed Air Distribution System section provides
a guideline. Contact or call Crafstman Customer Service for more
information.
IMPORTANT: If the tank or air lines have excessive water and/or
oil, bring the compressor to a service center.
Verify the proper fuse size is being used.
Use time-delay fuses.
Disconnect other electrical appliances from the circuit or
operate the compressor on its own branch circuit.
Verify the wiring connection inside the pressure switch and the
terminal box area.
Bring the compressor to a service center.
