TROUBLESHOOTING CODES
CODE POSSIBLE CAUSE POSSIBLE SOLUTION
1 Pressure switch does not
shut off motor when com-
pressor reaches cut-out
pressure
Set the On/Off switch to OFF, if the unit
does not shut off contact an authorized
service center.
2 Pressure switch cut-out too
high
Contact an authorized service center.
3 Tube fittings are not tight
enough
Tighten fittings where air can be heard
escaping. Check fittings with soapy water
solution. Do Not Overtighten.
4 Defective air tank Air tank must be replaced. Do not repair the

5 Leaking seals Contact an authorized service center.
6 Defective safety valve Operate safety valve manually by pulling on
ring. If valve still leaks, it must be replaced.
Regulator is not adjusted
correctly for accessory
being used
It is normal for some pressure drop to occur
when an accessory is used, adjust the regulator
as instructed in Regulator under Features if
pressure drop is excessive.
NOTE: Adjust the regulated pressure under
flow conditions while accessory is being used.
8 Prolonged excessive use
of air
Decrease amount of air usage.
Compressor is not large
enough for accessory
Check the accessory air requirement. If it is
higher than the SCFM or pressure supplied by
air compressor, a larger compressor is needed
to operate accessory.
