Governor Malfunction; Governor Control Line; Compressor Unloader Leakage - BENDIX BX2150 AIR COMP-BW1424- Manual

Test 4: Governor Malfunction
1. Inspect control lines to and from the governor
for restrictions (e.g. collapsed or kinked).
Repair as necessary.
2. Using a calibrated external gauge in the supply
Test 5: Governor Control Line
1. Ensure that the governor control line from the
reservoir is located at or near the top of the
reservoir. (This line, if located near the bottom
of the reservoir, can become blocked or
restricted by the reservoir contents e.g. water
or ice.)

off and charge the unloader port by allowing air
pressure to enter the hose and unload the
compressor. Shut off the air supply and observe

at the unloader port, but a falling reading shows
that the unloader mechanism is leaking and needs
to be serviced.
