Bleeder is not drawing fluid.
Check the air supply connection. Ensure that the air pressure is within the specified range (90-120psi). Inspect the bleed line for blockages and ensure it's properly connected to the bleed nipple. Verify that the bleed nipple is open.
Air bubbles are still present after bleeding.
Ensure all connections are airtight. The bleed nipple might not be fully sealed. Retighten it slightly. Check for leaks around the bleed line connections. Repeat the bleeding process to remove any remaining air.
The air supply keeps disconnecting.
Make sure the air hose is securely connected to the VS020TC. Check for any damage to the air hose and fittings. Replace if necessary.
