Open drain cock
Check the drain cock, make sure it is
closed. If not immediately switch off the
unit as per the shut down instructions
and close the drain cock.
Air fittings leaking
Check all air fittings. Make sure that
they are tight and not leaking at the
joins. If a quick release fitting is leaking,
disconnect it and reconnect it. If it
continues to leak replace the defective
fitting(s). If a male or female fitting is
leaking around the thread tighten using
a spanner. If the fitting is already tight
and can’t be tightened, unscrew the
connection and remove the Teflon tape.
Examine the condition of the fitting(s).
If the a fitting(s) is damaged replace
and reassemble using Teflon tape on
threaded fittings. If the fittings are OK
reapply Teflon tape and reassemble.
