When you plugged in the compressor to the robot, did this go through your (at the time, one and only) manual ball valve? R85 (Figure 4-16) shows the ball valve as still be available to vent all pressure while an off board compressor is hooked up to the system. The intent is for the manual release to be available at all times - for those purposes, having two on the robot or one on the robot and one with the off board compressor satisfies that intent, and helps keep the entire system safe.
