Correct answer
Remove condensate water from the reservoirs.
Remove condensate water accumulating in the reservoirs, following the manufacturer’s maintenance procedure and the installed drainage type. A pneumatic system uses compressed air: it should not contain only liquid, and this is not bleeding bubbles from a hydraulic circuit. The drain valve is also not the semi-trailer supply connection.
