Hello everyone.
I need some advice/help before Sears trys to screw me.
Yesterday I bought a craftsman 60 gallon 2 stage 7 HP air compressor for my garage. I wired it in using a 30 amp circuit. When I was finished I turned it on for the break in period and the motor just revved up and down continuously (like surging i guess) for about 7 minutes then smoothed out. Great I thought! Then it quit something clicked it off internally (overheat sensor?) after a few minutes i turned it back on and same thing -surging.
So i changed the circuit to a 20. The instuctions actually stated 15 or 20 so I made a mistake but the thing still would not work right.
So as I have zero experience with these can someone give me some advice? Does this sound normal? Any suggestions? I called sears and scheduled an appointment for a repair but i dont want them saying i wired it wrong, so tough. I actually think i just got a bad motor. Anyone?
