Do Not operate this equipment if the ASME pressure vessel nameplate is missing. Contact
Axxiom Manufacturing, Inc. for technical support.
1.26. DO NOT MODIFY VESSEL.
Do Not modify or alter this equipment, or any blast equipment, or controls thereof without
written consent from Axxiom Manufacturing, Inc. Do Not weld, grind, or sand the pressure
vessel.
It will not be safe to operate.
Non-authorized modifications could lead to serious injury
or death. Non-authorized modifications will void the warranty and the ASME certification.
1.27. DO NOT HAMMER ON VESSEL.
Do Not hammer on or strike any part of the pressure vessel. Hammering on the pressure vessel
can create cracks and cause rupturing.
1.28.
FIRE DAMAGE NOTICE.
Do Not operate if the pressure vessel has been damaged by fire. If damaged, take out of service
immediately and have it inspected and/or repaired by a qualified facility. Contact Axxiom
Manufacturing, Inc. for technical support.
1.29.
INSPECT VESSEL REGULARLY.
Do Not operate this equipment with damage to the pressure vessel.
It is not safe
. Inspect outside
and inside of the pressure vessel regularly for corrosion or damage (i.e. dents, gouges or bulges).
If damaged, take out of service immediately and have it inspected and/or repaired by a qualified
facility. Contact Axxiom Manufacturing, Inc. for technical support. See Section 8.0.
1.30.
CHECK FOR LEAKS IN VESSEL.
Do Not operate this equipment if there is a leak in the pressure vessel. If leaking, take out of
service immediately and have it inspected and/or repaired by a qualified facility. Contact
Axxiom Manufacturing, Inc. for technical support.
1.31.
NEVER MODIFY BLOWDOWN.
Do Not connect the blowdown on this equipment onto a common header with any other unit of
any description, or any other source of compressed air, without first making sure a check valve is
used between the header and this unit. Do Not install this equipment sharing piping with another
unit of higher discharge pressure and capacity. A safety hazard could occur in the form of a
back-flow condition.
1.32. DEPRESSURIZE VESSEL BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE.
Do Not remove, repair, or replace any item on this equipment while it is pressurized. Do Not
attempt to perform maintenance or fill while this equipment is pressurized or is even capable of
being pressurized. This means the inlet ball valve should be closed and the air supply should be
shut off or disconnected. Anytime the manual blowdown valve is closed it should be assumed
that the abrasive blast vessel is pressurized.
An Airprep System is a Pressurized Vessel. The compressed air inside a pressurized vessel
contains a dangerously high level of energy which can propel objects and cause serious injury or
death. Depressurize vessel before performing any maintenance. See Section 6.2.
1.33. ALWAYS USE REMOTE CONTROLS.
