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 internal corrosion.
What oil should I use?
Use compressor-grade oil (non-detergent) for smooth and safe operation.
Can I use an extension cord?
Avoid it; if absolutely necessary, use a thick, short extension cord that can handle high current.
How long can I run it continuously?
15–20 minutes, then allow it to cool to avoid overheating and damage.
