Motor will not run.
Excessive belt wear.
Air compressor is not supplying
enough air to operate accesso-
ries.
Motor overload protection switch has
tripped.
Air tank pressure exceeds pressure
switch "cut-in pressure".
Check valve stuck open.
Loose electrical connections.
Possible defective capacitor.
Paint spray on internal motor parts.
Possible defective motor.
Fuse blown, circuit breaker tripped
.
Pressure release valve on pressure
switch has not unloaded head pres-

Prolonged excessive use of air.
Air compressor is not large enough for
air requirement.
Restricted air intake filter.
Loose belt.
Let motor cool off and reset switch by pressing the
red button located on the end of the motor. If the
overload still trips, check for defective capacitor or
wrong voltage.
Motor will start automatically when air tank pres-
sure drops below "cut-in pressure" of pressure
switch.
Remove and clean or replace. DO NOT OVER-
TIGHTEN.
Check wiring connection inside pressure switch
and motor terminal box area.
Contact Service Center for inspection or replace-
ment if necessary.
Have checked by a Service Center. Do not operate
the air compressor in the spray area. See Flam-

1. Check fuse box for blown fuse and replace if
necessary. Reset circuit breaker. Do not use
a fuse or circuit breaker with higher rating
than that specified for your particular branch
circuit.
2. Check for proper fuse; only dual element time
delay fuses are acceptable. Use a time delay
fuse.
3. Check for low voltage conditions and/or
proper extension cord.
4. Remove check valve and clean or replace if
it is stuck open or closed.
5. Disconnect the other electrical appliances
from circuit or operate the air compressor on its
own branch circuit.
On an ON/AUTO pressure switch equipped with
a pressure relief valve, bleed the line by pushing
the pressure switch to the OFF position. If valve
does not open, bend the lever until it does. If valve
still fails to bleed, replace the valve assembly.
Adjust belt tension. (See Belt Replacement.)
Check for worn keyway or pulley bore. Also check
for bent motor shaft. Replace parts if necessary.
(Refer to the Outfit Parts Manual.)
Decrease amount of air usage.
Check the accessory air requirement. If it is higher
than the CFM or pressure supplied by your air
compressor, you need a larger air compressor.
Clean or replace air intake filter. Do not operate the
air compressor in the paint spray area.
Adjust belt tension.
