SOURCES.
PERSONAL INJURY MAY OCCUR.
PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING ANY REPAIRS, UNPLUG THE
COMPRESSOR AND BLEED OFF TANK AIR PRESSURE.
PROBLEM
CAUSE
CORRECTION
Excessive tankpressure - safety
valve pops off.
Pressure switch does not shut off
motor when compressor reaches "cut¬
out" pressure.
Pressure switch "cut-out" too high.
Move the pressure switch leverto the "OFF" position.
If the outfit doesn't shut off, unplug. If the electrical
contacts are welded together, replace the pressure
switch.
If the contacts are good, check to see if the pin in the
pressure release valve is stuck. If it does not move
freely, replace the valve.
Return the outfit to an authorized dealer to check and
adjust, or replace switch.
