Re: Actual 120 PSI for Storage

Everyone,
The pressure switch may not be adjusted per R76.
The adjustment is to set the position of the microswitch internal to the assembly for operation. It is set at the factory to overcome the differences in microswitch operation from unit to unit. Through testing, the switch is actually a lot more accurate than it appears, as the gauges used on most robots do not have the precision needed to read 120 psi with any repeatability.
