8.5.4

  Absorption. Some media absorbs moisture from 

the  air,  especially  fine-mesh  media  in  areas  of  high 
humidity.  Store  media  in  an  airtight  container  when 
cabinet is not in use. 
 

8.5.5

  A  vibrator  mounted  either  on  the  blast machine 

leg or on a bolt on the media metering valve may help to 
prevent  bridging  of  fine-mesh  media. 

NOTE:  To  avoid 

the  possibility  of  compressing  media,  a  vibrator 
should  be  set  up  to  start  when  the  foot  pedal  is 
pressed and stop when the pedal is released. 

 
 

8.6 

Media surge: 

A small amount of surge is normal 

at start-up. 
 

8.6.1

  Heavy  media  flow.  Adjust  media  flow,  per 

Section 5.2. 
 

8.6.2

  Empty the blast machine, depressurize the blast 

machine,  and  inspect  the  internal  parts  of  the  metering 
valve  for  wear.  Refer  to  the  Sentinel  Media  Metering 
Valve Manual, number 20951. 

 
 

8.7 

Air only (no media) comes out the nozzle 

 

8.7.1

  Make sure the machine contains media. 

 

8.7.2

  Make  sure  the  metering  valve  is  open  and 

media flow is adjusted, per Section 5.2. 
 

8.7.3 

Make  sure  the  blast  machine  is  pressurized. 

See Section 8.9. 
 

8.7.4

  Check for minor blockage in the media metering 

valve by fully opening the metering valve and closing the 
choke  valve.  Activate  the  foot  pedal  to  blow  out 
obstructions.  If  this  procedure  fails,  depressurize  the 
machine,  remove  the  metering-valve  inspection  plate, 
and check for foreign objects.  
 

8.7.5

  Check  the  muffler  on  the  4-way  air  valve.  Air 

should  exhaust  from  the  muffler  when  the  foot  pedal  is 
released. If air does not exhaust, remove the muffler and 
try  again.  If  air  exhausts  now,  the  muffler  is  blocked.  If 
air still does not exhaust, the 4-way valve may be faulty; 
refer to Paragraph 8.7.6 to check the 4-way valve.  
 

8.7.6

  Check  the  4-way  valve  as  follows:  Depressurize 

the air-supply line. Remove the tubing leading to either the 
media  metering  valve  or  diaphragm  outlet  valve. 
Pressurize the air-supply line. Air should not exhaust from 
the  tube  adaptors.  Press  the  foot  pedal;  air  should 
exhaust  at  the  tube  adaptor.  Release  the  foot  pedal;  air 
should  stop  exhausting  from  the  tube  adaptors.  If  it 
operates accordingly, the metering valve requires service. 
If it does not operate accordingly, replace the 4-way valve. 

8.7.7

  Outlet valve not sealing. Inspect diaphragm. 

 

8.7.8

  Metering  valve  requires  service.  Refer  to  the 

media metering valve manual. 

 
 

8.8 

Neither  media  nor  air  comes  out  the  nozzle 

when the foot pedal is pressed

 

 

8.8.1

  Depressurize  the  blast  machine  and  check  the 

nozzle to see if it is plugged. 
 

8.8.2

  Make sure the blast machine pressurizes when 

the foot pedal is pressed. If it does not pressurize, refer 
to Section 8.9. 
 

8.8.3 

Make  sure  the  media  metering  valve  and  the 

choke valve are open. 

 
 

8.9 

Blast machine does not pressurize

 

 

8.9.1

  Make sure the compressor is operating and air-

supply valve is open. 
 

8.9.2

  Make  sure  the  blast  pressure  regulator  is  not 

set too low or OFF; minimum pressure is 40 psi. Refer 
to Section 5.1. 
 

8.9.3

  Door 

interlocks 

not 

engaging. 

Check 

adjustment, per Section 5.4. 
 

8.9.4 

Inadequate  air  supply.  Refer  to  the  cfm-

consumption table in Figure 3. 
 

8.9.5

  Inspect the diaphragm in outlet valve for wear. 

 

8.9.6

  Inspect  pop-up  valve  and  seal  for  wear  and 

misalignment. 
 

8.9.7

  Blocked  or  leaking  control  lines.  Check  all 

urethane tubing for blockage or leaks. 
 

8.9.8 

Foot-pedal  valve  malfunction.  Check  foot-pedal 

alignment, and inlet and outlet lines for pressure. 
 

8.9.9

  Make  sure  lines  are  not  reversed  on  the  foot 

pedal or pilot regulator. Refer to the plumbing and control 
line schematic in Figure 47. 
 

8.9.10

  Check  the  4-way  valve  for  jamming,  per 

Sections  8.7.5  and  8.7.6.  When  the  foot  pedal  is 
pressed,  the  valve  should  shift,  pressurizing  the  line  to 
the outlet valve and media metering valve. 
 

8.9.11

  Inspect the check valve, Figure 48, Item 18) for 

obstruction or broken flap.
