Ec 12 Hitachi air compresser not building up air pressure
So the first (most obvious but sometimes overlooked) thing - check to make sure the tank drains are closed.
Listen for a leak at the pressure switch - it will continue to leak after the compressor shuts off. If this is the case then you need a check valve (Part # 53A on the breakdown)
If it builds pressure but not enough to shut off and there are no leaks I would look at the valves located in the head (Part # 14 on the breakdown) - piston rings are not a normal failure part on this model but could also cause this.
Air pressure on my air compressor
This problem is usually caused by reed valves or blown gasket between head and valve plate. Easy to check. After the compressor reaches 45 to 50 psi, with compressor still running, remove the air filter and feel for good suction at the intake port. If the air seems to be blowing out of the intake, then valves are bad. If you feel good suction at the intake, then air is leaking from the discharge tubing or other fittings. Good luck
Use of Hitachi EC510 air compressor
Pressure gage A shows the pressure in the tank. Pressure gage B shows what you have adjusted the output pressure to be. If it is reading 0psi and it is new it is probably because the manufacturer has set it at that level. You have an adjustment valve on the front of your compressor. Rotate it until you see the pressure start to rise then keep going to where you want it set at.
Replacement Parts
A lot of the compressors I have had were discontinued before I ever received them. I know what ordering the right part can be like. If you can give me a description of what the part does or where it is located I will brain storm with you to find a work around. If you leave a comment it will email me.
Where is the restart button on a ec12 hitachi compresor
I have seen two locations over the years including incorporated within the field coils. If not under the shroud mounted to metal frame, it is located on the shroud very visible. If yours is not visible , then most likely in windings. This internal reset will cut out on high heat , then reconnect after cool down. Can't rush cool down. Motor will overheat on low power / long or too thin power cord. If reset does not cut back in, then reset probably burned-out. It is not ment to be replaced but not impossible. The motor can be taken apart and reset removed and breaker installed on shroud. Good luck
