TROUBLESHOOTING  GUIDE

PERFORMING REPAIRS MAY EXPOSE VOLTAGE SOURCES, MOVING PARTS OR COMPRESSED
AIR SOURCES.  PERSONAL INJURY MAY OCCUR.  PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING ANY REPAIRS,
UNPLUG THE COMPRESSOR AND BLEED OFF TANK AIR PRESSURE.

CAUSE

Pressure reading on the regu-
lated pressure gauge drops
when an accessory is used.

It is normal for “some” pressure drop to
occur.

If there is an excessive amount of pressure drop when
the accessory is used, adjust the regulator following
the instructions on page 6.

NOTE

Adjust the regulated pressure under
flow conditions (while accessory is be-
ing  used).

Air tank must be replaced.  Do not repair the leak.

A defective check valve results in a constant air leak
at the pressure release valve when there is pressure
in the tank and the compressor is shut off.  Remove
and clean or replace check valve.  

DO NOT OVER-

TIGHTEN.
