The Sealey RE2281 Compressor is ideal for users seeking a high-performance, reliable air compressor that combines efficiency with ease of use and safety features.

Sealey RE2281 Compressor F.A.Q.

How do I properly set up the Sealey RE2281 Compressor for first-time use?

To set up the Sealey RE2281 Compressor, ensure it is placed on a stable and level surface. Connect the air hose to the compressor's outlet, and attach the desired tool or accessory. Check oil levels and fill if necessary. Plug in the power cord and switch on the compressor. Adjust the pressure regulator to the desired PSI.

What maintenance steps should I follow to keep my Sealey RE2281 Compressor in good condition?

Regularly check and change the oil, clean or replace the air filter, inspect the safety valve, and check for air leaks. Drain the tank after each use to prevent moisture buildup and rust.

How can I troubleshoot if my compressor doesn't start?

Ensure the power source is active and the cord is properly plugged in. Check the reset button and make sure the pressure switch is functioning. Inspect for blown fuses or tripped breakers and replace or reset as necessary.

What should I do if the compressor builds pressure too slowly?

Inspect the air intake filter for clogs and clean or replace it. Check for leaks in hoses and connections. Ensure the tank drain valve is fully closed and the pressure settings are correct.

How often should the oil be changed in the Sealey RE2281 Compressor?

Change the oil after the first 50 hours of use, then every 200 hours or annually, whichever comes first. Always use the recommended oil type for optimal performance.

What should I do if the compressor is overheating?

Ensure the compressor is not placed in a confined space and has adequate ventilation. Check the oil level and viscosity, and ensure the cooling fins are clean. Allow the compressor to cool down before further use.

Why is my compressor making unusual noises?

Unusual noises may indicate loose parts or worn components. Check all bolts and screws for tightness. Inspect the belt for wear and replace if necessary. Ensure the motor mounts are secure.

Can I use synthetic oil in my Sealey RE2281 Compressor?

Yes, synthetic oil can be used if it meets the manufacturer's specifications. It often provides better lubrication and longer intervals between oil changes.

What precautions should I take when using the compressor in cold weather?

In cold weather, allow the compressor to warm up before use. Use oil with a lower viscosity suitable for low temperatures, and ensure the air intake and exhaust are free of ice or snow.

How do I store the compressor when not in use for extended periods?

Drain all air and moisture from the tank. Clean the unit and cover it with a protective cover. Store in a dry and cool place. Periodically check for rust or damage if stored for several months.
