Just ran my new YH, 240V and settable stop version today.
Problem/Issue: Unit switches between stumbling/stuttering and running fine when it gets above 4000 psi. Unit barely makes it to ~4300 psi before is shuts off.
Suggestions?
My initial start up went as follows:
1. Checked for loose screws, bolts, nuts, fittings. Unit only needed low pressure relief nut tightened.
2. Filled compressor with compressor oil, Powermate Px, to just above red dot, capped with breather cap.
3. Connected water lines and pump.
4. Placed pump in 5 gallon bucket of water.
5. Plugged unit in and checked water flow.
6. Placed stopper plug in hose.
7. Set shutoff to 1000 psi.
8. Started compressor.
Results, compressor pressurized line to 1000 psi, alarmed at 1000 psi and shut off. Good.
Raised shut off to 2500 psi and powered unit on. Unit ran, alarmed at 2500 psi and shut off. Good
Raised shut off to 4500 psi, powered on, ran, alarmed at 4500 psi and shut off. Good
Attempted to top off 75l tank
1. Set shutoff at 3200 psi, tank was at 3000 psi.
2. With tank valve off, turned compressor on, when it got close to 3000 psi, tank valve was opened.
3. Filled to 3200 psi, alarmed and shut off. Good
4. Upped setting to 4500 psi.
5. Tank valve off, confirmed water flow, started compressor.
6. Compressor temperature at start, 20C (its cold in the garage ~40F, water ~50F).
7. When compressor reached 3200 psi, tank valve was opened.
8. Compressor ran fine up to about 4000 psi then stuttered at little, then smoothed out.
9. Compressor got pressure up a little more, then stuttered multiple times, so shut compressor off.
10. Compressor was just under 50C.
11. Waited until temperature dropped to 25C then ran again.
12. Compressor increase pressure to maybe 4200 psi then stuttered.
13. Repeated 11 and 12 a couple times, got tank up to 4200 psi then decided to stop for the day.
