Adjust air pressure Global S

Does anyone know how to adjust the air pressure to the machine for a global S Green.
I am getting a low air pressure warning this morning and it looks like the pressure is slightly low (5-10PSI).
Our compressor seems to be working fine and the dryer seems to be getting proper air flow and is purging air normally.
Also we had a power outage last night. That might be important info.

Solved!

Locate a knob on the right side towards the back of the X axis rail/beam. Hold the Z with your hand and turn that knob about a 1/4 turn or until you hear a 'click'. That knob adjusts the Z counterweight so try to adjust it back as best as you can after turning it.

This procedure was a common thing after long weekends or when the shop air would 'cut off' unexpectedly.

    Glad this post popped back up. I recently had a CMM technician in here and he said that the knob apparently controls the air pressure for when the CMM loses air, thus keeping the Z axis from dropping.
