Pilot valve okay. Dirt in one bleeder hole.
Deenergize solenoid, raise head pressure,
reenergize solenoid to break dirt loose.
If unsuccessful, remove valve, wash
out. Check on air before installing. If no
movement, replace valve, add strainer to
discharge tube, mount valve horizontally.
Piston cup leak
Stop unit. After pressures equalize, restart
with solenoid energized. If valve shifts,
reattempt with compressor running. If still
no shift, replace valve.
