Other questions

The air machine is not generating enough air pressure and flow to inflate the tire to the desired pressure. Please check for the following:

  • Air leak due to bad chuck, coil hose, faulty check valve or electronic head pressure sensor tube.
  • A bad electronic pressure relief valve.
  • Bad input hoses, compressor fittings, mechanical relief valve (machines after March 2013) or inline filter (machines prior 2011).
  • Bad Electronic head, solenoid valve or electronic board.
  • Bad compressor filter or weak compressor.

Check buzzer wire connections on the electronic board points 1 and 2. If wiring connections are good, replace the buzzer inside of the electronic head.

Run quarters through the machine multiple times.

  • If the unit misses one coin, replace the coin acceptor switch.
  • Check the store breaker to make sure it is on
  • Check the air machine’s breaker within the unit to make sure it is on
  • Check power connections into the breaker from power source and from the breaker to the unit.
  • If problem persist, contact our tech support.
  • The microprocessor is frozen – normally due to an electrical surge or short.

    ***CAUTION: ELECTRICAL HAZARD***

    • The unit needs to be reset. Power down the air machine, wait 30 seconds and then power up the unit.
    • If the problem persists, replace the electronic head.
    • Make sure the pressure in the tire is not less than the set pressure (this is a common mistake with first-time users).
    • If this is not the case, please check the output connections for leaks. The output hose consist of:
      • Chuck
      • Coil hose
      • Elbow connection for coil hose
      • Blue standard ¼” hose from head unit to Elbow connection

    Note: The best way to check for an output leak is to turn the unit off and connect the chuck to a fully inflated tire. If there is a leak, you should be able to hear air escaping.

    If problem persist, contact Excel Tech Support.
