g)  Positive air shut off valve tripping (optional 

– not on all units) 

 

Symptom: 

Low air pressure 

Check and correct the following: 

a)  Air flow capacity exceeded 

– reduce load demand on compressor 

b)  Engine speed too low 

– adjust as required 

c)  Pressure regulator/switch not operating properly 

– adjust or replace as required

 

d)  Restricted flow - kinked or collapsed air line, ice blockage. 

 

 

Symptom: 

Excessive oil in the air produced 

Check and correct the following: 

a)  Check compressor oil level 

– ensure correct level 

b)  Check oil scavenging line is clear 

– clear and inspect 

c)  Check coalescing filter 

– replace as required

Diesel engine turns but will not start 

Check and correct the following 

a)  Adequate fuel supply 
b)  Glow plugs - test 
c)  Compressor switch on/turn off 
d)  Fuel filter restricted/valve off 

– bleed air from filter housing 

e)  Positive air shut off valve tripped (optional 

– not on all units) 

f)  Fuel pump operation 

– check flow 

g)  Compressor not unloading, producing air while cranking
