Air brakes wont release.

Hello, i would like to get some advice on a mechanical issue im having on my old Lansing C75 container lifter. The issue is the Air brakes & mast functions would not work due to low air pressure. The compressor seems fine i have checked all 3 air tanks to see if the pressure builds up inside and they are okay. any other place i should look for to find the problem? thanks.
