Rewire from120 to 240 volts
If the motor is a dual voltage motor the wiring diagram is on the motor data plate. Otherwise replace the motor
I have a Puma air
Hi cleancutc844...
Sounds to me like the fan is running in the wrong directions and not cooling the motor as intended.
Reverse your wires to to reverse the rotation of the fan motor and make sure it is pushing air over the motor to keep it cool while running.
Please take time to rate me
My puma air compressor after
the motor is working too hard or the power source is not adequate or you are using a extension cord never use a extension cord for a air compressor you will destroy the motor over time use longer hose and plug it in to the outlet directly
Squeaky sound when switch on
Hi,
Possibly it could be that the the drive belts need tightening up,
Another way is to get a spray can of belt dressing and spray it on to the belt faces once it is in action
That a simple solution and hope this is of help
Cheers

My compressor is working but
The motor will run hot/overload if wrong size or too long cord is used. Also if pressure is set too high (most set at 125 ~ 135 at shut-off). In-tank checkvalve will also have effect on motor by loading the compressor at start-up. Easy test. Run compessor till you have over 100lbs in tank then unplug from power. At this point try to turn the motor /pump by hand, it should turn rather/very easily (this test is hard to do if the motor /pump is completely enclosed, you need to be able to turn the pump even if by truning the fan blade). If it does not turn easily let all the air pressure out of tank and then try to turn by hand. If it turns easily with tank empty try one more test. Run compessor till the pressure switch turns it off. Then unplug machine and turn compessor again by hand, should be easy. If not easy then unloader / checkvalve not working. The checkvalve could be leaking air back from the tank loading the pump. Replace parts as needed.
Where can I get an owners manual for my Puma
This is a Taiwanese company and their web site leaves much to be desired - I was unable to get the manual for you but I did get an email address for you to possibly get it from;:
[email protected] . I'm sorry I couldn't find more for you but here is the web address in case you need it; http://pumaair.com/english/products.php3 . I hope this helps!!
I got one of your
With pressure in tank test for leak at the check valve. Follow the discharge line from the pump to the tank. There you will find the checkvalve (usually brass valve). If the check valve leaks the compressor will be under load when motor tries to start and will probably trip breaker. Look for reset button (red button )on the compressor motor and push-in to reset. With pressure in tank the motor /pump should turn freely by hand. If checkvalve good and unit turns freely, test capacitor for proper valve. It should test to within 95% of printed uf/mfd.
