TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
CAUSE
CORRECTION
Unit is Leaking
Oil at Fitting(s)
Loose Fitting.
Tightening fitting resolves most issues.
Rust in Water
When Draining
Tank
Compressors are designed to accumu-
late moisture in the air tank instead of in
your air stream.
We recommend draining air tank weekly to remove moisture. It is not uncom-
mon to have brown/rust colored water in tank as the inside of the tank is bare
steel to eliminate any coating delamination. This will ultimately disappear as a
film of oil will coat inside of tank during use (see page 9).
