POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Let the compressor build pressure in the tank, to
the maximum pressure if possible. Brush soapy
water on air connections and look carefully for air
bubbles. Tighten leaky connections. If the problem
persists, contact the seller for further advice.
Let the air in the air tank flow out until all the
pressure is released. Then remove the unloader
valve plug and clean the valve seal. If necessary,
replace the seal and then reinstall all components.
Check that the main voltage corresponds to the air
compressor specifications. An extension cord that
is too thin or too long can cause a voltage drop and
cause the motor to overheat.
Excessive use
Allow the motor to cool down.
