excessive carbon deposits
build-up; restricted check valve.
Too many motor starts per hour.
Improper wiring gauge.
Incorrect voltage.
Current style electric motors run relatively hot under normal operating
conditions, with reasonable air compressor loading. This condition is
normal and no adjustment is necessary.
Under normal operating conditions, the motor amperage draw will
not exceed the nameplate amperage rating, plus the service factor, as
it appears on the electric motor. If a condition of sustained high
amperage exists, refer to service checks above and/or consult
electrician. If cause cannot be isolated by an electrician, consult with
Service Center for additional assistance.
