Re: air cannon

My interpretation: the air cannon is fed pressurized air through an solenoid air valve. They were opening the valve by pressing the manual relief open button (the small orange one). They since wired the solenoid to fire electrically, but it won't allow the necessary air pressure through.

My suggestion is to check the solenoids and make sure that the 24 volt coils have been replaced with the FIRST-provided 12 volt coils.
