TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom No air or media coming out of blast hose. Cause: Blast hose is clogged with wet media or media too large for nozzle. Solution: Clean out blast hose and nozzle. Symptom Water in tank bubbles & pump does not shut off when attempting to siphon water. - Page 25 Symptom: Pressure control button broken in the “on” position and system will not depressurize. Cause: Damaged/faulty pressure control switch Solution: Turn off supply air. Disconnect PTC tube fitting to exhaust valve. This will automatically relieve tank pressure. Replace pressure control switch before using the blaster again! Symptom Air is coming out of exhaust valve when vessel is pressurized.
