Default RE: Rom air retracts manual requested

ROHMs are great but the control valve is not, check all connections for leaks. Replace the control valve with a ROBART control valve and you may want to replace the tank with ROBART also. If you have not switched to compressed air do so. After dissembling and cleaning my ROHMs after not being used for thirty years and new tank and valve the system holds 100 psig for 24 hours. Use a silicone grease on cylinders and o-rings when switching to air. A bike pump or small 12 VDC pump can be used. My 32 years old Phoenix 7 has this setup. Oh yea, check the fill valve if leaking replace with ROBART fill valve. I'm not pushing ROBART just all I have experience with. I'm sure others will work. I dont think ROHM is in business now . HTH
