check for possible causes:
• - Blockage or moisture in suction lines
• - Blockage in air intake or vent pipes
• - Undersized air intake or vent pipes
• - Loose blower wheel or motor shaft
• - Incorrect pressure switch or pressure switch setpoint
When pressure reading is proper and the pressure switch is
operating properly, remove testing lines and reinstall vinyl
caps to Tee and 4-way connector.
