Air compressor


Why won't my Cattani air compressor work ?

  • Check the power lead to see if it's plug in and the power switch on the wall is switch on
  • Check the on/off switch on the panel ( pressing the big red button will switch off the air compressor )

Just to make sure Press that big red button we know you want too (this will turn the compressor off) Now if you look at the big red switch you see a panel and a latch ,squeze it to open the panel 

once you open the panel their is a red and black button ,press the black button to turn your air compressor back on and close the latch door back into place  

If you find this does not solve the problem then you would need to call us as the compressor may have an electric issue and we don't want our client getting an electric shock
