7. Risoluzione dei problemi comuni
Refer to the table below for solutions to common operational problems:
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| Il compressore non si accende. | No power, loose electrical connection, faulty switch. | Check 12V power source, verify connections, inspect power switch. |
| Compressor runs but does not build pressure. | Air leak, clogged air filter, worn piston rings/valves. | Check all hose connections for leaks, clean/replace air filter, consult support for internal issues. |
| Il compressore esegue i cicli troppo frequentemente. | Air leak in the system, pressure switch malfunction. | Inspect for air leaks, verify pressure switch operation. |
| Riduzione della portata d'aria. | Clogged air filter, low oil level, worn components. | Clean/replace air filter, check and replenish oil, inspect internal components. |
| Il compressore si surriscalda. | Poor ventilation, extended operation beyond duty cycle, low oil. | Ensure adequate ventilation, observe duty cycle, check oil level. |
