Question:
_________
.Check air compressor governor cut-in and cut-out pressures:
Pumping by the air compressor should start at
about 100 psi and stop at about 125 psi. (Check manufacturer's specifications.) Run the engine at a fast idle. The air
governor should cut out the air compressor at about the manufacturer's specified pressure. The air pressure shown
67
by your gauge(s) will stop rising. With the engine idling, step on and off the brake to reduce the air tank pressure. The
compressor should cut in at about the manufacturer's specified cut-in pressure.
The pressure should begin to rise.
If the air governor does not work as described above, it may need to be repaired. A governor that does not work right
may not keep enough air pressure for safe driving.
