MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR
Air compressor is incorrectly
sized.
Limit the air pressure to the capacity of the air
compressor. Either use a smaller tool or a
larger air compressor.
Moisture is a normal by-product of compressing air. As the moisture builds during
compressor use, it can be carried though the air hose. When using paint spray gun
or sandblasting gun, the use of a special filter to remove moisture from the air line
is highly recommended. Moisture in the compressed air will cause water spots in
paint jobs and cause blasting media to clog the sandblasting gun.

Check the accessory air requirement. If it is
higher than the CFM or pressure supply of the
air compressor, you need a larger air
compressor.

SOLUTION:
Possible defective safety
relief valve.
Excessive tank pressure.
Operate safety relief valve manually by pulling

more often in humid weather and use
an air line filter.
AIR LEAKS AT FITTINGS:
PROBABLE CAUSE:
SOLUTION:
Fittings are not tight enough.
Tighten fittings where air can be heard
escaping. Check fittings with soapy water
solution. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
