How exactly do you control the pressure you want? Is there a regulator or something? And also how do you bleed the pressure off when not towing loads?

If you'll look at a closeup of the picture of the kit, you can see there's a gauge. To the right side of the gauge there is a momentary switch that allows you to engage the compressor and pump up the air bags to the pressure you want. There is, right beside that switch, a push-button release valve which allows you to release air pressure from the system. The bags require a minimum of 5psi to keep them from being damaged. There is a pressure switch inline that maintains the pressure in the system at approximately 5psi, so if there's a slight leak, they will automatically pump back to 5psi when power is supplied to the system.

The kit has a pressure guage, power button switch, and pressure release button. You simply push the power button switch to increase the psi or push the pressure release button to decrease psi. The kit has a psi sensor that automatically increases psi if it falls below 5 or 10 psi so you never completely fall below the minimum required by the air bag manufacturer. Very simple and excellent kit.

There is a switch you depress to raise the pressure up and a silver knob you push to bleed it off when not in use...

I never used the compressor. I returned it. I inflate the bags manually when ever I am going to tow something. I just use my garage compressor. I bleed it the same way.

You control the amount of pressure desired, I haven't experienced any difficulties and this is a versatile inexpensive option for protecting your investment it works as advertised in all aspects... M

It is not built to hold the pressure. The button allows the user to bleed the tire pressure - so you can somewhat overfill the tire and then easily bleed down to the correct pressure.

Use the pump only to pressurize the system. Fill the reservoir to the top, put on pump and pressurize to desired PSI, then bleed brakes. Stop to refill the reservoir after every wheel so that you don't use up all the fluid and get air into the lines. This method allows you to keep the pump completely dry.

I don't see any way to adjust the pressure on this pump. It is a great pump in every aspect though. Very quiet and delivers consistent pressure.

You don't need that much pressure. Simply pressing it down to keep it stable and then a couple of light pulls and it starts.

In the instructions Manuel it says to have some one heavy sit in it. Then while they are there you push the foot petal. And lower it all the way and let it set over night so the the hydraulic fluids will settle the right way because it is messed up from being shipped.

The only thing that I can think of is that once the compressor builds up the desired pressure it will stop, activating again only once the pressure drops below the level you have it set at. The black cylinder on the top is your pressure regulator; twist it one way to increase the maximum amount of pressure, twist it the other way to decrease the max pressure. Yours might be turned all the way down, preventing any pressure from building up. Hope this helps!

There is an adjustment valve on the handle. It allows for pressure control also.

For me I just use a little battery operated pump , air it up till it feels moderately tight then go for it. Just a word of advice....be mindful that on a hot day they will get too tight and you should beach land it a relieve a little pressure. on a cold day I had it all pumped up, threw it on the trailer and headed to the lake, when I got there it was deflated considerably due to the cold. I pumped it up and away it goes. Its a awesome rig. Get U 1, FISH ON!

there is a red pressure relief valve,you need to keep clean..In two years of Daly use mines has built up pressure two times.try to dump it before you start driving..

I have to put heavy constant pressure as well but no issues yet... Putting it on a lower surface will give you leverage

First, there is a cleaning setting. Let it run on that for a minute. You may have some calcium or dirt in the nozzle. Second, try lifting very slowly. You may have so much water pressure that you do not ever need to have it on full. Think small trickle and just keep pulling till comfortable. Hope that helps!

The bleeders are on top of the cylinder. You just put a piece of 3/8 clear tube over the bleeder and turn with a wrench.

Hello, mine is to recent to have problems. I purchased a pressure reducer from Lowes for about $10.00 just to make sure I do not blow my system. The problem that you may have is a tartar build up. Either you can remove the unit and soak it in white vinegar or depending on your interior hook up you can create a continuous loop that will go to your furthest faucet. To do that use a bucket a small pump, 12v will be fine and pour the vinegar into the bucket pump it through the system and bring it back to the bucket. This way you can check every faucets at your pleasure with out dismantling anything. I have a Diesel engine en my boat and do the same thing to "polish" carburant (just go through the filters and no vinegar of course). It may appear complex but once you acquire the equipment everything can be stored in the bucket. If it is easy to do it will be done more often. Enjoy your endeavor, Good Luck, Francis.

Taylor, yes you can release the pressure from the control panel. The unit I purchased was for a 1987 El Camino that I just purchase. However, since the vehicle is in such good shape and presently doesn't have a trailer hitch I am reluctant about installing the compressor, etc. Have had several El Caminos and used the air shocks and compressor and was very pleased, but this vehicle is too nice to be hauling trailers around with. If you are interested the compressor etc.( still in the box as I received it) would be willing to sell it. Vernon.dorsey@bowheadsupport.com.

The compressor has a regulator that allows you to control the output pressure between 0 and the max compressor pressure. If you look at the picture of the compressor it shows two guages, one is the tank pressure and the other is the regulated pressure. Hope this helps.
