TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM POSSIBLE PROBLEM
1. Grit or gum in tool.
2. No oil in tool.
3. Low air pressure.
Tool runs
slowly or will
not operate.
4. Air hose leaks.
5. Pressure drops.
6. Worn rotor blade.
7. Moisture blowing
out of tool exhaust.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Flush the tool with air-tool oil or gum
solvent.
2. Lubricate the tool.
3. a. Adjust the regulator on the tool to
maximum setting.
b. Adjust the compressor regulator
to tool maximum of 90 PSI.
4. Tighten and seal hose fittings if
leaks are found. Use sealing tape.
5. a. Be sure the hose is the proper size.
Long hose or tools using large
volumes of air may require a hose
with an I.D. of 1/2 in. or larger
depending on the total length of the
hoses.
b. Do not use a multiple number of
hoses connected together with
quick-connect fittings. This causes
additional pressure drops and
reduces the tool power. Directly
connect the hoses together.
6. Replace rotor blade.
7. Water in tank; drain tank. (See air
compressor manual). Oil tool and run
until no water is evident. Oil tool
again and run 1-2 seconds.
