Hello all, I'm hoping this is a maintenance or usage issue someone can help me with.
I've been happily using my Viair 400p for many years. The included air hose/chuck/gauge has always worked well. Lately, though, I've found that I must hold the chuck tight against the valve stem while filling, lest it pop off. This is new behavior. The valve stems are unchanged, so I can only assume that something has worn or needs adjusting.
Anyone got ideas other than "replace the whole assembly"?
This isn't a huge problem, but it does make airing back up much more tiring work since I need to squat down and hold the chuck tight for a couple of minutes per tire, rather than just occasionally checking the gauge as I used to.
Thanks.
