3. If dirty, rinse air filter with warm water and
squeeze dry.
4. Replace air filter and air filter cover.
NOTE: If the air filter is extremely dirty it will need to
be replaced. Refer to the "Parts Manual" for the cor-
rect part number.

Motor

The motor has an automatic reset thermal overload
protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the
overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor
must be allowed to cool down before restarting. The
compressor will automatically restart after the motor
cools.
If the overload protector shuts the motor off frequent-
ly, check for a possible voltage problem. Low voltage
can also be suspected when:
1. The motor does not get up to full power or speed.
2. Fuses blow out when starting the motor; lights
dim and remain dim when motor is started and is
running.

Inspect Air Lines and Fittings for Leaks

1. Turn the air compressor on to inspect for air
leaks.
2. Apply a soap solution to all air line fittings and
connections/piping.
3. Correct any leaks found.
IMPORTANT: Even minor leaks can cause the air
compressor to overwork, resulting in premature
breakdown or inadequate performance.
