SYSTEM SET UP
TO FILL
The inlet air supply MUST be turned off prior to filling. Close the inlet ball valve and open the blow
down ball valve. Allow any residual air pressure to be relieved, or the pop up valve may not drop to
allow abrasive to enter.
Dump abrasive into the screen (if supplied), where it will be sieved through into the top head dish.
Pieces of the bag, etc. will be prevented from entering the pot. The abrasive will flow into the pot
until full. An excessive amount of material piled on top of the pop-up valve after the unit is full may
prevent the pop-up valve from closing properly. If the lid is moved for any reason, be sure to keep
fingers clear of the pop-up valve.
