Expert Advice
- The air delivery test is conducted at sea level (0–10 meters). As altitude increases, air delivery will decrease accordingly
- Drain your compressor tank daily after use to avoid build-up and contamination
- Do not run your compressor on electrical extension cords as this will cause a voltage drop which will inevitably cause damage to your machine
Troubleshooting Guide
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Compressor won’t start | Power not connected / faulty plug | Check plug, cable, and socket; ensure correct voltage |
| Motor hums but won’t run | Low voltage / jammed pump | Check power supply, inspect for debris in pump |
| Pressure builds too slowly | Air leaks / worn piston rings | Check hose and fittings for leaks, replace rings if worn |
| Excessive noise | Loose bolts / worn bearings | Tighten bolts, replace bearings if needed |
| Overheating | Poor ventilation / continuous use | Improve airflow around compressor, allow cooling breaks |
FAQs
How often should I drain the tank?
After every use to prevent rust and moisture buildup inside the tank.
What oil should I use?
Use compressor-grade oil (non-detergent) for optimal performance and long compressor life.
Can I use an extension cord?
Avoid it; use a thick, short cable only if absolutely necessary to prevent voltage drop.
How long can I run it continuously?
Operate for 15–20 minutes at a time, then allow the compressor to cool before continued use.
