Solution
Source electric to the compressor is either the incorrect voltage,
insufficient wire size to carry the load, the fuse box or breaker box is not
sufficient to carry the load requirements to the compressor�
Any wiring other than what is stated in the manual could cause a
malfunction (see Wiring Section)�
Make sure voltage is correct with the motor wiring (see Wiring Section)�
The entire electrical system should be checked by a certified electrician�
The incoming wires and the compressor electrical connections should
be checked� Loose connections will cause malfunctions�
Check that wire size is rated for the current of the compressor� State and
local codes vary widely and need to be checked before installation�
The breaker and fuses required for this unit must be time delay�
A tripped breaker or blown fuse may result from a direct short to
ground, high current draw, improper wiring, incorrect fuse or breaker
size and/or type� This needs to be evaluated by a service center or
certified electrician�
Check and reset if necessary� If the overload trips after the initial reset,
refer to the section of the manual that covers this issue�
Units equipped with a Low Oil Guard must have proper oil level to
operate� If oil level is low, add more oil� Unplug the compressor to reset
the relay for the low oil switch (see Lubrication section)�
Any wiring other than what is stated in the manual could cause a
malfunction (see Wiring Section)�
Make sure voltage is correct with the motor wiring (see Wiring Section)�
The entire electrical system should be checked by a certified electrician�
The incoming wires and the compressor electrical connections should
be checked� Loose connections will cause malfunctions�
Check voltage, wire size, etc� This problem needs to be evaluated and
corrected (see Wiring Section)�
Make sure voltage is correct with the motor wiring (see Wiring Section)�
Check to make sure wire size is rated for the current of the compressor�
Check that wire size is rated for the current of the compressor� State and
local codes vary widely and need to be checked before installation�
Source electric to the compressor is either the incorrect voltage,
insufficient wire size to carry the load, the fuse box or breaker box is not
sufficient to carry the load requirements to the compressor�
The entire electrical system should be checked by a certified electrician�
The incoming wires and the compressor electrical connections should
be checked� Loose connections will cause malfunctions�
Make sure the drain valve at the bottom of the tank is closed�
Check the entire system for leaks, including the compressor unit and
any piping attached to the compressor
Make sure that the air intake of the compressor is not blocked in any
way�
