Frequently Asked Questions (13)

  • How do I drain the Craftsman 16636 air compressor?
    To drain the air compressor, set the Auto-On/Off lever to the Off position, unplug the power cord from the receptacle, and set the outlet pressure to zero on the regulator. Open the drain valve, located at the bottom of the tank, to allow air to bleed from the tank. Once all air has bled, close the drain valve to prevent debris buildup. It is recommended to drain the air compressor tank daily or after each use to prevent corrosion and weakening of the tank.
    For more information, see pages 4, 5, 7 and 8 of the manual.

  • How do I oil the Craftsman 16636 air compressor?
    To oil the air compressor, remove the oil fill cap from the crankcase and fill until the oil reaches the top of the red dot in the sight glass. The oil capacity is 3 oz. Use SAE-30 non-detergent (API CG/CD heavy duty motor oil). For extreme cold weather conditions (32°F / 0°C or below), use SAE-10 weight oil. Replace the oil cap after filling. The oil level should be checked daily or before each use, and the oil should be changed after the first 50 hours of operation, then every 100 hours thereafter.
    For more information, see pages 4, 6 and 8 of the manual.

  • Why won't my Craftsman 16636 air compressor turn on?
    If your air compressor's motor will not start, ensure the power cord is plugged in and the switch is on. Inspect your circuit box for the proper fuse size. If the fuse was tripped, reset it and restart the unit. If repeated tripping occurs, you may need to replace the check valve or contact a service technician.
    For more information, see page 9 of the manual.

  • Why does my Craftsman 16636 air compressor keep tripping the circuit breaker?
    If your air compressor keeps tripping the circuit breaker, it could be due to the circuit not having 15 free amps available, in which case a larger circuit may be needed. Ensure you are using more air hose before utilizing extension cords, and that any extension cords used are 12 gauge with a maximum length of 25 ft, with a time delay circuit fuse type. Low voltage can cause damage to the motor. If the fuse was tripped, reset it and restart the unit. If repeated tripping occurs, you may need to replace the check valve or contact a service technician.
    For more information, see pages 3 and 9 of the manual.

  • Why is my Craftsman 16636 air compressor not holding pressure?

    If your air compressor is not holding pressure, it could be due to:

    • Air leaks at the check valve or pressure relief valve: A defective check valve can cause a constant air leak. Drain the tank, then remove and clean or replace the check valve. If the safety valve continues to leak when in the closed position after being operated manually by pulling the ring, it should be replaced.
    • Air leaks between the head and cylinder: Ensure proper torque on head bolts. If the leak persists, contact a service technician.
    • Air leaks from the tank body or welds: Never drill into, weld, or modify the air tank, as it will weaken and can rupture or explode. If leaks occur from the tank body or welds, the compressor cannot be repaired, and its use should be discontinued.

    For more information, see page 9 of the manual.

  • What type of oil is recommended for the Craftsman 16636 air compressor?
    The recommended oil for the Craftsman 16636 air compressor is SAE 30 Non-detergent (API CG/CD heavy duty motor oil). For extreme cold weather conditions, specifically 32°F (0°C) or below, SAE-10 weight oil should be used.
    For more information, see pages 4 and 6 of the manual.

  • How do I use the Craftsman 16636 air compressor for inflating tires?
    To use the air compressor for inflating tires, first ensure the Auto-On/Off lever is in the Off position, then inspect the air compressor, air hose, and any accessories for damage. Close the drain valve and check the oil level. Connect the air hose to the quick connect socket on the regulator assembly by inserting the quick connect plug into the socket until the collar snaps forward and locks. Plug the power cord into a proper receptacle, then turn the Auto-On/Off lever to the On-Auto position. The compressor will start and build air pressure, shutting off automatically when it reaches cut-out pressure. Adjust the regulator to the required PSI setting for your application. Inflation accessories, such as inflation needles and adapters, should only be operated at a maximum pressure of 90 PSI.
    For more information, see page 7 of the manual.

  • Why is my Craftsman 16636 air compressor not shutting off?
    If your air compressor is not shutting off, move the Auto-On/Off lever to the Off position. If the unit still does not shut off, unplug it from the power source and contact a service technician.
    For more information, see page 9 of the manual.

  • What is the maximum PSI of the Craftsman 16636 air compressor?
    The maximum PSI of the Craftsman 16636 air compressor is 125 PSI, which is the cut-out pressure where the motor stops when the tank reaches maximum air pressure.
    For more information, see page 4 of the manual.

  • How do I check the oil level on my Craftsman 16636 air compressor?
    To check the oil level on your air compressor, look at the oil sight gauge. The oil should reach the top of the red dot in the sight glass. This check should be performed daily or before each use.
    For more information, see pages 5, 6 and 8 of the manual.
