Expert Advice
- The air delivery test is conducted at sea level (0–10 metres). 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

| Slow build-up of pressure | Loose belt / worn piston rings | Tighten or replace belt, replace rings if worn |
| Belt slipping | Worn belt or pulley misalignment | Replace belt, align pulleys |
| Oil leaks | Worn seals / overfilled oil | Replace seals, keep oil at correct level |
