a. Leak at tubing or body chamber.
b. Inspect tubing and heat exchanger.
a. Replace or retighten.
b. Replace or retighten tubing. Replace
heat exchanger. Refer to Replacing
Heat Exchanger on page 61.
Regulator cracked or leaking. Replace regulator. Refer to Replacing
Regulator on page 58.
P.E. valve leaking. Replace P.E. Valve. Check voltage at P.E.
valve connector on 24 volt D.C. scale. The
P.E. Valve activates or energizes
approximately one second prior to the
activation of the 4 way valve with
approximately 24 volts. If voltage is in
excess of 24 volts consistently, replace the
P.C. board. Refer to Replacing P.C. Board
on page 66. If the P.C. board voltage acts
normally, replace the P.E. valve. Refer to
Replacing P.E. Valve
on page 53.
NOTE: Check for leaks starting at the
compressor output through all the
pneumatic connections. Major leaks will
cause system pressures to remain below
adequate shift (exhaust) pressures and will
cause compressor shutdown.
