Air Filter - Inspection and Replacement

Keep the air filter clean at all times. Do not operate the

compressor with the air filter removed.

A dirty air filter will not allow the compressor to operate at full

capacity. Before you use the compressor, check the air filter

to be sure it is clean.

If it is dirty, simply pull it out. You may wash it with a mild

detergent and warm water, or replace it.

Motor

The motor has an automatic reset thermal overload protec-

tor. If the motor overheats for any reason, the overload

protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed

to cool down before restarting. The compressor will auto-

matically restart after the motor cools.

If the overload protector shuts the motor off frequently,

check for a possible voltage problem. Low voltage can also

be suspected when:

1. The motor does not get up to full power or speed.

2. Fuses blow out when starting the motor; lights dim and

remain dim when motor is started and/or is running.
