: Has anyone had trouble with the relay fuse blowing on the pneumatic pump or on the valves? If so what did you do about it?


I recall reading that the pneumatic actuators are designed for 15-20 volts, and while they work at 12-13 volts, we were experiencing problems at 12 volts and less. The relays would click on and off very fast anytime the battery dropped to 12.2 volts and less.

I hope there's an easy fix or fresh batteries will become a must after every match.
