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
Slow build-up of pressure: Loose belt / worn piston rings: Tighten or replace belt, replace rings if worn
Belt slipping: Worn belt or pulley misalignment: Replace belt, align pulleys
Oil leaks: Worn seals / overfilled oil: Replace seals, keep oil at correct level
Overheating: Overworked / poor ventilation: Reduce duty cycle, improve cooling
Excessive vibration: Loose mounting bolts / imbalance: Tighten bolts, check for worn components
