Hi John (@slowcar), I don't know what the on and off pressures are however there is an over pressure valve on the pneumatic tank so if the tank is building up too much pressure you should be hearing a hissing sound coming from the left side pod.  There is a gauge mounted on the air compressor, so if you loosen up the upper center body section you should be able to lift it up enough to get a peak in and see the gauge.  Before you do that, if you haven't done it yet, I would recommend servicing the pneumatic valve block as described in the attached sheet.  Internal valve block leaks are a very common area for leaks.

I hope this helps,

Charley

I believe it is on at 6 bar and off at 7 bar.
