Expert Answers about Air Pump

• Troubleshooting Performance Tool Foot Pump
• The Performance Tool Foot Pump - 100 psi # PTW1638DB obviously has air coming out, so I recommend checking the connection to the valve stem which should have the black lever at 90 degrees from the stem when latched for adding air to the bike inner tube. If the seal is good and there isn't leaking at the valve stem connection or the hose, then the bike tire inner tube is the bad and needs replaced. To test the pump I recommend covering the valve stem attachment with your thumb and holding...

• Troubleshooting Atwood Air Command Heat Pump Function
• The Atwood Air Command Rooftop RV Air Conditioner w/ Heat Pump # AT15028-22 or the non-ducted #AT15026-21 should allow air to all parts of the vent. If there is air flowing to all parts of the vent, then the filter is catching what it needs to. The vent baffle/duct will be on one side of the assembly as you can see in the video so it is not uncommon for one side to see more dust and debris than the other. If you are not getting air to all parts of the vent, then I do recommend checking...

• Troubleshooting An RV Water Pump That Continues To Run After A Faucet Turns Off
• An RV water pump should only turn on as the faucet calls for water. If the pump keeps running you either have a leak or issue with the pressure switch of your water pump. The first thing to check is the voltage to the pump before and during use with a multimeter # PT89ZR. If the pump is getting the required voltage (12v or 120v depending on model) to properly function it can cause a false reading for the pressure switch. The pressure switch could also need an adjustment if the psi level...

• Can Fan on Atwood Air Command RV AC 15028 Be Turned Off
• To prevent the overall temperature of the actual AC Unit to affect the temperature reading, the fan is designed to run all the time. There is a sensor located in the return air intake side of the Atwood Air Command Rooftop RV Air Conditioner # AT15028-22, which blows air from the inside of your RV onto the thermostat. This feature cannot be turned off as this is designed to get the most accurate reading of the interior temperature of your RV. The fan button allows you to switch between...

• Solution for a Replacement Battery Pack for AirBedz Built-In Air Pump Not Holding Charge
• The Replacement Rechargeable Battery Pack for AirBedz Built-in Air Pumps # 341025 is recommended to be charged 8 hours for every 20 minutes of use so there is a chance that the battery pack arrived dead, but if it's not able to charge at all then it's defective and would need replacing. You could try and use the Car Charger Cord for AirBedz Battery Pack # 341024 to see if maybe it was the cable that is bad or if it's the battery. If swapping these cables allows the battery pack to hold...

• Troubleshooting Water Pump with Air Causing Spitting and Sputtering
• The Flow Max RV Fresh Water Pump - 12 Volt - 3.3 Gallons Per Minute - 45 PSI # LC689052 sounds like it doesn't have a proper priming which it is designed to automatically do. There are some things to check in the owners manual that I've made a copy of to assist. Check each one of these suggestions one at a time to narrow down the possible causes. I'd also turn off the bypass to your hot water heater as that fitting may be the issue, so check it both ways.

• Troubleshooting EC Code on Firestone Wireless Air Compressor
• The EC code means your Firestone wireless compressor, like part # F2610, has ran for over 4 minutes and needs to shut off. If your air bags aren't filling up then this means you either have a leak in the system somewhere or the pressure sensor is messed up. I recommend filling up a spray bottle with soapy water and spraying down the air bags and air lines while the compressor is running to see if anything starts bubbling. If you see bubbles that means you've found the leak that needs to...

• Troubleshooting a Non-Functioning Air Compressor on a BrakeMaster Second Motorhome Kit
• In the installation instructions for the Roadmaster BrakeMaster 9060, # RM-98300, they show two fuses wired in to the air compressor circuit. One 20 amp fuse on the power wire of the battery and a 10 amp fuse connected on the blue wire that runs from the ignition switch to the air compressor. Inspect these fuses and any poor or loose wiring connections. If possible use an external 12-volt source to connect to the compressor to see if it operates. If the compressor works, then the issue...

• Troubleshooting A Hard Brake Pedal After Flat Towing A Jeep With Demco Air Force One
• Based on the symptoms you're describing with your Air Force One # SM99243 it sound like you have a leak somewhere and the brake booster is having to rebuild the vacuum pressure, which is why the pedal is hard and requiring you to pump it back up before driving. I recommend looking at your check valve between the tee and engine for leaks and tracing your air lines for any cracks or loose connections. If none are found then the check valve could have also just failed and needs to be replaced...

• My Firestone Compressor Keeps Running Even When Air Bags Are Full
• I reached out to my contact at firestone to confirm a few things. If the compressor is running, it should be filling the bags. The compressor is either going to build air pressure, or not build pressure. So if it is running when the bags are full, we likely have a problem somewhere. We would have you start by doing a soap test and checking for leaks. An air leak would cause the compressor to not read the correct PSI and keep running. If you can find and eliminate the leak it should solve...

• Trailer Brake Lines Sucking In Air Using Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator
• It doesn't sound like the pump on your Carlisle Hydrastar actuator # HBA-10, is out. It does sound like a possible issue with a seal, the cap, or something could be blocking the flow of fluid at the fitting that connects to the brake lines. Fluid in the brake lines may not leak out anywhere unless enough pressure is in the lines. I would not rule out the brakes or a wheel cylinder. Check the backs of the wheels and tires for any evidence of leaking fluid which would indicate a bad wheel...

• Troubleshooting Leak In Firestone Air Springs On Both Sides of Vehicle
• There's definitely a leak somewhere on your Firestone Air Spring System if the bags are bleeding out after only a few days. It's not too uncommon that the springs on both sides lose air as a result of this. The simplest way to try and locate where the leak is taking place is to apply a solution of soap and water to the fittings, air lines, and air bags while the system is fully inflated. If there's a leak you will see little air bubbles appear at the source within a couple seconds. If...

• Can I Adjust the Water Pressure on the HydroMax RV Fresh Water Pump # P25201 While Running
• I spoke to my contact at Valterra and he does not recommend adjusting the pressure on the HydroMax RV Fresh Water Pump - 12 Volt - 3 Gallons Per Minute - 55 psi # P25201. He said that they come from the factory adjusted where they should be for best results. He did think that there may be an obstruction in the water tank causing the water flow to be less than it should. He said that you would want to make sure the water line is clear to the tank and that there is nothing in the tank that...

• Troubleshooting RV Water Pump that was Ran Dry And Now Has Low Water Pressure
• Sounds like your water pump lost it's prime since you ran it dry. I can help you try priming the system with the steps below. If that doesn't help you may have a blockage or need a new pump. Fill up your fresh water tank. Turn on the cold water in your RV and make sure the faucets are completely open. Switch on the water pump near your RV water tank. This should prime the pump by pushing water up from the tank through your faucet. Let the water flow a while, then turn the faucets off....

• Even Brake Arm Does Not Move During Testing Procedure
• As far as the transmitter and the in-cab monitor the issue is likely the location of the ICX transmitter. Try moving it to a higher location or in a location with less obstructions. This could also be the cause of the unit not functioning properly during the testing phase of the installation. If the system is running but the pressure is not building then that would be an internal problem and the unit will need to be serviced or replaced by Roadmaster.

• Troubleshooting a 2004 Ford Explorer that Runs Hot
• You could have an air pocket in your coolant system that is causing the motor to run hot. To purge the air out you will want to find the steepest hill you can park your car on, let the car cool off for several minutes, remove the radiator cap and then start the car. Once the vehicle reaches operating temperate the thermostat will open and if there is a bubble in the system is should work itself out. You can also squeeze the water pump lines to help the bubble work itself out. I had a similar...

• Troubleshooting HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Drum Brakes
• I was unable to find an order number for you so I don't know the exact set up you used to install the HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Drum Brakes - 1,000 psi # HBA-10, but the issue doesn't seem to be the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller # 90885. The issue is almost certainly the wiring or brake lines you are using, and it is strongly recommend you use 10 gauge wire # 10-1-1 for the power lead of the actuator. Additionally, your brake links may be too small in...

• Can BrakeRite Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator be Repaired if Fluid Allowed to Run Out
• I was unable to find a reference to part 4814400 so I assume you were referring to the Titan BrakeRite Electric-Hydraulic Actuator # T4813102 . I contacted Titan who told me it was possible it burned the pump if it ran for a time and you should look for metal shavings in the reservoir; if you see them it is not repairable and you would need a new unit. The other possibility is that air may have gotten into the unit and would need to be purged which would be done by placing the unit on...

• If you're getting water when it rains then the gasket on your Atwood Air Command Rooftop RV Air Conditioner w/ Heat Pump - 15,000 Btu - Ducted - White Item # AT15028-22 has failed and needs to be replaced. I recommend the Valterra Sealing Foam Gasket for RV Air Conditioners - 14" x 14" Openings - White Item # A10-1414.
