dedicated circuit. If using extension cord, try using without. If

compressor is connected to a circut protected by a fuse, use dual

element time delay fuses (Buss Fusetron type “T” only).

Readjust belt tension

Low voltage/motor overload

Drive belt too tight

Excessive current draw

trips circuit breaker of

motor reset switch

Compressor stalls

Low discharge pressure

Compressor pump

knocking

Oil in discharge air

Overheating

Excessive belt wear

Compressor won’t start

in cold temperatures

Inspect and replace transfer tubes or check valve, as required.

Restricted air passages

Furnish adequate power.Low voltage motor

Replace the check valve.

Bad check valve

Contact authorized service center.

Excess carbon on valves or top

of piston

Contact authorized service center.

Worn piston rings or cylinder

Clean or replace the air filter element(s).

Restricted air intake

Reduce to proper level.

Relocate compressor to an area with cool, dry, well circulated air,

at least 12 in. from nearest wall.

Poor ventilation

Clean all cooling surfaces thoroughly.

Dirty cooling surfaces

Replace transfer tubes and/or unloader.

Restricted air passages

Realign pulley with compressor flywheel.

Pulley out of alignment

Readjust.

Improper belt tension

Open petcock when starting motor.

Too much back pressure in tank

Use synthetic, non-detergent air compressor oil.

40W oil in crankcase

Move compressor to a warmer location.

Compressor too cold

Replace the pulley and check for a damaged crankshaft or

flywheel.
