Duty Cycle: This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously. However, to prolong
the life of your air compressor, it is recommended that a 50%-75% average duty cycle be
maintained; that is, the air compressor pump should not run more than 30-45 minutes in any
given hour.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Set the Auto/Off switch to OFF, if the unit does not shut off
contact a BOSTITCH factory service center or a BOSTITCH

still leaks, it must be replaced.
It is normal for some pressure drop to occur when an
accessory is used, adjust the regulator as instructed in
Regulator
under Features if pressure drop is excessive.
NOTE:
Adjust the regulated pressure under flow conditions
while accessory is being used.
Decrease amount of air usage.
Check the accessory air requirement. If it is higher than the
CFM or pressure supplied by your air compressor, a larger
compressor is needed to operate accessory.
Replace air hose.
Contact a BOSTITCH factory service center or a BOSTITCH
authorized service center.
Tighten fittings.
