  • Look for hose kinks or pinches.
  • Set the FOB for service when present.
  • Contact a draft-trained professional if problems continue.

Server checks

Basic troubleshooting is limited to visible, low-risk checks. Persistent foaming or flow issues should be escalated rather than solved by guessing at pressure.
