    • Follow the PVC line through each station, look and listen for and leaks and any physical damage.
  2. 2

    If the compressor won't turn on

    • Check the plug

    Continual Maintenance

    Please keep up with regular maintenance and check for any leaky hoses. A pair of pliers and a wrench go a long way tighten up where the white tape “ joints” are.
