Expert Advice
The air delivery test is conducted at sea level (0–10 metres). As altitude increases, air delivery will decrease accordingly
Drain your compressor tank daily after use to avoid build-up and contamination
Do not run your compressor on electrical extension cords as this will cause a voltage drop which will inevitably cause damage to your machine
Troubleshooting Guide
ProblemPossible CauseSolution
Compressor won’t start: Power not connected / faulty plug: Check plug, cable, and socket; ensure correct voltage
Motor hums but won’t run: Low voltage / jammed pump: Check power supply, inspect for debris in pump
Pressure builds too slowly: Air leaks / worn piston rings: Check hose and fittings for leaks, replace rings if worn
Excessive noise: Loose bolts / worn bearings: Tighten bolts, replace bearings if needed
Overheating: Poor ventilation / continuous use: Improve airflow around compressor, allow cooling breaks
FAQs
How often should I drain the tank?
After every use to prevent rust and moisture build-up inside the tank.
What oil should I use?
Use compressor-grade oil (non-detergent). Refer to your user manual for the recommended type and quantity.
Can I use an extension cord?
Avoid it; use a thick, short cable if absolutely necessary to prevent voltage drop and potential damage.
How long can I run it continuously?
Run for 15–20 minutes and then allow the unit to cool before resuming use.
