run.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. The tank pressure exceeds the
normal rating pressure.
2. The pressure switch is stuck.
1. Tank pressure exceeds the
preset pressure switch limit.
2. The fuse is blown or the circuit

2. Replace the blown fuse or reset
the circuit breaker. Do not use a
fuse or circuit breaker with a higher
circuit.
Check for proper fuse; type T fuse
is acceptable.
Check for low voltage and proper
extension cord size.
