Model G0464/G0465/G0467/G0468/G0470 Air Compressors

Fixing Air Leaks

Air leaks will cause low air output and
increase the time the compressor must
run.

To find air leaks:

1. Turn the compressor OFF when the

tank is fully pressurized and unplug the
compressor.

2. Listen for the sound of air to find fittings

that may be leaking.

3. Spray the suspected air leak with a

soap and water solution. If you see air
bubbles, you have found your leak.

To fix air leaking around fitting threads:

1. Unplug the air compressor and drain

all the air from the tank.

2. Unscrew the fitting that is leaking. Clean

and wrap teflon tape and/or spread pipe
dope on the threads.

3. Re-install the fitting to the compressor.

To fix air leaking through a valve:

1. Unplug the air compressor and drain

all the air from the tank.

2. Remove the valve, clean it thoroughly,

then re-install with teflon tape and/or
pipe dope.

3. If the valve continues to leak, replace it

with a new valve.

3. Inspect the O-ring and diaphragm

(

Figure 14) for damage and dirt.

4. Replace any damaged parts and clean

any dirt off of the diaphragm and O-
ring.

5. Re-assemble the check valve. Make

sure the diaphragm presses squarely
against the air supply tube opening.
