I have been searching the internet, but cannot find a manual for my second hand Craftsman Air Compressor, Model 106.174540, with 1 HP motor, so I hope you can answer my question. The label on the tank says it is rated for 100 psi, but all the dial indicators (2) are set for 40 psi. 1) Can I use the compressor to fill my truck tires to 80 psi, even though the dials are set to 40 psi? 2) Can I reset the dial indicators to 80 psi?
This compressor should be able to fill your tires to 80 psi. Look for a pressure switch and adjust it so the motor shuts off at a higher pressure. Do not exceed 100 psi.
SOURCE: Air compressor motor stalls under pressure
this sounds like a bad pressure switch.if the unit is not shutting off at the same pressure each time this would be the cause.2 if the pressure is not unloading the air pressure on the compressor side of the unit it will cause the unit to struggle when it starts a cycle because the piston is under a load .how this works is say the unit starts from 0 psi when it get to the desired pressure you have it set on the unit kicks off . the other adjustment most units have on them is what pressure to cycle back on.so when the unit reaches say 100 pounds ,it kicks off and bleeds the air off the compressor side so when it starts back up it wont start up with pressure on the piston.
SOURCE: Compressor tank will not fill with air
piston rings gone valves stuck inside nonreturn valve jammed the pipe coming from the pump unit into the tank before it goes into the tank it goes to a gold valve you need to take this out and check the rubber and spring if the seem ok turn it around and put back in then get back to me buddy
SOURCE: i have sears craftsman 22gal 5 hp air compressor not enough press
hi buddy strip the end off the check valve out and inside is a rubber turn this rubber around and try this if it still downt work it sounds like the pressure switch faulty get back to me
Testimonial: "thanks i took out the check valve i see the rubber but the valve is 1 piece should i just get a new one"

The spray gun consumes more air volume than the compressor can deliver. You can pause painting periodically to allow the compressor to 'catch-up' or buy a larger delivered-volume compressor. The compressor that you have was intended to supply air for pneumatic nailers and staplers in an intermittent fashion. Hope this helps!
