REMEDY
§
Check incoming power supply.
§
Check the control circuit fuse.
Top up coolant.
§
Ensure voltage is correctly between operating limits
and that no voltage spikes are being introduced into
the supply by external equipment or power feed.
Set pressure to correct rating for machine.
Change air filter, and separator cartridge.
§
Ensure voltage does not drop below 10% on start up
and 6% running.
Correct incoming supply voltage.
