TROUBLESHOOT A MASTER BLOCK ASSEMBLY MALFUNCTION
You may see malfunctions that originate in the master block assembly. If the unit
does not come on when the master ON-OFF valve is turned ON, use one of the
following procedures based on the ON-OFF indicator showing either ON or OFF. Refer
to figure 5-7.
a. ON-OFF Indicator Shows OFF. A possible cause is that there is no air
pressure at the inlet to the master ON-OFF valve.
(1) Verify that you have turned on the compressor and that you have fully
opened the manual shut-off valve.
(2) If so, turn the master ON-OFF valve ON and OFF while listening for a
"puff" of air from around the toggle each time you turn the valve OFF.
(3) If you can hear a "puff," the outlet is plugged, either in the cartridge valve
body or the master block.
(a) Remove the master ON-OFF valve.
(b) Clean the passages.
(4) If you cannot hear air, check for a clogged filter. If the filter is clogged,
replace it. If the filter is okay, continue with the following procedures.
(a) Check for a pinched master air tube (solid yellow) between the
filter-regulator and the master block.
(b) Check also for an obstructed barb on the master block.
