Let the air compressor build up 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 problem persists contact
your dealer for further advice.
Let the air in the tank flow out until all pressure is
released. Then remove the no-return valve plug and
clean the valve seal. If necessary replace the seal and
then reinstall all components.
Check that the mains voltage corresponds to
specification. An extension cord that is too thin or too
long can cause a volt drop and cause the motor to
overheat. Allow motor to cool down. Use heavy duty
extension leads. Make sure the compressor is plugged
into a socket as close to the supply as possible.
