CAUSE
Motor overload protection switch has tripped.
Tank pressure exceeds pressure switch "cut-
in" pressure.
Check valve stuck - fails to relieve head
}ressure; motor cannot start.
Loose electrical connections.
PROBLEM
Motor will not run.
Restricted air intake.
Compressor is not supply-
ing enough air to operate
accessories.
Possible defective capacitor.
Possible defective motor,
Fuse blown, circuit breaker tripped.
Pressure release valve on pressure switch
has not unloaded head pressure.
Dirty air filter.
Prolonged excessive use of air.
Compressor is not large enough for air re-
quirement.
Restricted air intake filter.
Loose belt.
Hole in hose.
Check valve restricted.
Air leaks,
CORRECTION
Let the motor cool off and reset switch by pressing
the red button located on the end of the motor.
Motor will start automatically when tank pressure
drops below "cut-in" pressure of pressure switch.
Remove and clean or replace. (Do not overtighten,}
Check wiring connection inside pressure switch
and terminal box area,
Return to Sears Service Center for inspection or
replacement if necessary.
Have checked at a local Sears Service Center.
1. Check fuse box for blown fuse and replace if
necessary. Re-set circuit breaker. Do not use
a fuse or circuit breaker with higher rating
than that specified for your particular branch
circuit.
2. Check for proper fuse; only "Fusetron" Type
T fuses are acceptable.
3. Check for low voltage conditions.
4. Remove check valve and clean or replace if it
is stuck open or closed.
5. Disconnect the other electrical appliances
from circuit or operate the compressor on its
own branch circuit.
Bleed the line by pushing the lever on the pressure
switch to the "OFF _ position, opening the pres-
sure release valve. If the valve still doesn't open,
it must be replaced.
Replace with new.
Decrease amount of air usage.
Check the accessory air requirement. If it is higher
than the pressure sup plied by your air compressor,
you need a larger compressor.
Replace air intake filter.
Adjust belt tension.
Check and replace if required.
Remove and clean or replace.
Excessive belt wear.
Squealing sound.
Loose belt.
Tight belt.
Loose pulley.
Loose belt.
There is no oiJ in the compressor.
Tighten fittings. (See Air Leaks Section of Trouble-
shooting Guide.)
Adiust tension,
Adjust tension.
Check for worn keyway or pulley bore. Also check
for bent motor shaft. Replace parts if necessary.
Adjust belt tension.
Add oil.
