CORRECTION
Tightening fitting resolves most issues.
We recommend draining air tank weekly to remove moisture. It is not uncom-
mon to have brown/rust colored water in tank as the inside of the tank is bare
steel to eliminate any coating delamination. This will ultimately disappear as a
film of oil will coat inside of tank during use (see page 9).
Replace pressure gauge with known good gauge and retest unit. If gauge is
accurate replace Pressure Switch #32207.
Replace Pressure Switch #32207.
Drain and replace oil with 2 qts #31718 Eastwood Scroll Compressor Oil.
Replace Oil Filter #31715.
Replace Moisture Filter #31716.
