First thing I'd check is to make sure there is nothing preventing the TreadleVac from returning fully to the off (up) position, for example restriction on the upward movement of the pedal itself. If in doubt on this aspect, disconnect the pedal from the TV unit; if the problem goes away your problem is in the pedal movement. Give an upward tug on the TV actuating rod to insure it's fully retracted. Hopefully the TV was installed promptly after rebuild, they don't take well to sitting on the shelf for months at a time.

If that's not it, then the problem is probably in the hydraulic portion.
