Because the manifolds has blanks plates bolted on them when not in use, and if you take off a blank you will want to know if any pressure has built up behind them from a leaking valve.

You also want to know if it is safe to disconnect a cargo hose from the shore terminal after you have closed the manifold valve.

What will cause a marine air compressor high pressure relief valve to lift?

Excessive pressure in the compressor, after the first stage (or how ever many stages there are). Excessive pressure could be caused by shut/ blocked discharge valve. There will also be a relief valve fitted to the intercooler, should one of the tubes burst. This would let air into the water side and suddenly increase the pressure in the intercooler, so a relief valve is fitted.
