SECTION 7: SERVICE
Troubleshooting
Motor & Electrical
Symptom
Possible Cause
Possible Solution
Machine does
not start, or
power supply
breaker
immediately
trips after
startup.
1. Tanks already pressurized.
2. Incorrect power supply voltage or circuit size.
3. Pressure switch cut-in/cut-out settings have
been adjusted incorrectly.
4. Power supply circuit breaker tripped or fuse
blown.
5. Tripped motor overload; compressor is
exceeding its duty cycle.
6. Start capacitor at fault.
7. Centrifugal switch adjustment/contact points
at fault.
8. Wiring broken, disconnected, or corroded.
9. Check valve components are dirty/damaged.
10. Pressure switch at fault.
11. Motor or motor bearings at fault.
1. Motor will not start if tanks are fully pressurized.
2. Ensure correct power supply voltage and circuit size
(
Page 11).
3. Adjust settings (
Page 34). Do not exceed cut-in/cut-
out pressures listed on data sheet (
Page 6) or inside
pressure switch.
4. Ensure circuit is free of shorts. Reset circuit breaker or
replace fuse.
5. Reduce load on compressor and allow longer cool
down periods. Press motor overload reset button to
reset when motor has cooled (
Page 5).
6. Test/replace if at fault.
7. Adjust centrifugal switch/clean contact points. Replace
either if at fault.
8. Fix broken wires or disconnected/corroded
connections.
9. Clean/replace check valve components (
Page 33).
10. Turn compressor
OFF, disconnect from power, and
empty tanks. DO NOT USE until switch is replaced.
11. Replace motor.
Machine
stalls or is
underpowered.
1. Air filter dirty/clogged.
2. Pump/motor have restricted airflow.
3. Pressure switch cut-in/cut-out settings have
been adjusted incorrectly.
4. Tripped motor overload; compressor is
exceeding its duty cycle.
5. Crankcase oil is not correct type.
6. Run capacitor at fault.
7. Extension cord too long.
8. Check valve components are dirty/damaged.
9. Centrifugal switch/contact points at fault.
10. Motor or motor bearings at fault.
11. Worn valves or rings/compressor pump at
fault.
1. Replace air filter (
Page 26).
2. Clean cylinder fins, motor fan, and vent area.
3. Adjust settings (
Page 34). Do not exceed cut-in/cut-
out pressures listed on data sheet (
Page 6) or inside
pressure switch.
4. Reduce load on compressor and allow longer cool
down periods. Press motor overload reset button to
reset when motor has cooled (
Page 5).
5. Drain and replace with correct oil (
Page 25).
6. Test/repair/replace.
7. Move machine closer to power supply; use shorter
extension cord.
8. Clean/replace check valve components (
Page 33).
9. Adjust centrifugal switch/clean contact points. Replace
either if at fault.
10. Replace motor.
11. Rebuild/replace.
