Possible reasons for the Ironton 5820665 pressure not rising above 30 psi include:

1. The compressor is not large enough for the air pressure job.
2. There are loose fittings causing air leaks.
3. The hose or hose connections are too narrow.
4. The compressor is used at high altitude, reducing air output.
5. An extension cord is used, affecting power supply.

Check for leaks with a soap solution, tighten fittings (do not over tighten), use wider hoses if needed, eliminate extension cords, and ensure the compressor meets the required capacity.

I can only get the pressure to get to 30 psi...what am I doing wrong?

Possible causes for the Ironton 5820665 only reaching 30 psi include:

1. The compressor is not large enough for the job—air flow demand may exceed its capacity.
2. Loose fittings—air leaks may be reducing pressure. Check with a soap solution and tighten as needed.
3. Hose or hose connections are too narrow—replace with wider hose or fittings.
4. High altitude—may reduce air output; a higher-output compressor may be needed.
5. Too much water in the tank—drain the tank to restore performance.
6. Use of an extension cord—eliminate it to prevent power loss and overheating.
