Iwata Smart Jet moisture trap/air pressure valve not working

by Andrea

I have just unpacked my compressor, set it up and can't adjust the pressure. It says to unscrew the valve at the bottom of the moisture trap to release the pressure, but when I do, nothing happens. No water is released and pressure stays the same. Also, when the valve is unscrewed there is a grinding noise. Could something be misaligned?

If it's new, and it's not working to your satisfaction, then take it back, if you haven't already done so.

Of course, if the compressor hasn't started yet, and there is no air in the tank, then you won't be able to adjust the pressure, cause there isn't any!

Have a look at this page for more help.
