Do not forget,,, You need a 20 amp circuit breaker,,, don't understand what may have something to do with the adapted 220v motor.

So I got a reply from Hill Support to try and fix my issue of blowing fuses when started under pressure.
Hi Bob,
The issue you describe is most likely related to some aspect of stage 3 not functioning correctly. If you would feel comfortable doing so, below are instructions on how to access the stage 3 components for inspection. If you would be able to send some images of the stage 3 bullet valve, disc valve and stage 3 piston seal, this would be helpful for full diagnosis of the issue.
Our 100-hour service video @ 0:39 ( ) shows how to access the stage 3 bullet valve by first removing the stage 3 condenser tube and then removing the stage 3 bullet valve fitting using a 16mm spanner. The tutorial goes on to show the removal of the stage 3 valve housing using a 24mm spanner and the retrieval of the stage 3 shim valve. If you could take some images of both components, this would be great.
Our 100-hour service video @ 3:56 ( ) shows the removal of the stage 1 and 2 condenser pipes.
After removing the stage 1 and 2 condenser pipes, the multistage cylinder can be removed to reveal the stage 3 piston seal; this is shown here: . If you could take some images of the stage 3 piston seal (see attached example: “stage_3_piston_seal.png”) this would be great.
If you could reply to this email with the images mentioned above, we will respond with an appropriate solution path.
Kind regards,
