EBE 350 VH Operating Instructions
Initial operation
Control the speed of movement in a vertical mode (down) by
means of the remote control, to such an extent that the blast
cleaning quality is achieved, i.e. slow movement = better
quality. This applies only when the optional winch is fitted,
otherwise the mobile crane operator controls the speed of the
machine.
Steer the machine left or right by the remote control to maintain
a good blast cleaning path.
At the end of the blast cleaning path, switch off the shot control
valve (“-“). By means of the left/right steering control, move the
machine left or right to the next area to be blast cleaned. At the
same time the lifting point above the machine (crane) has to
move a similar amount. Blast cleaning operation can then
continue.
Continue operations above until the total area to be blast
cleaned is completed.
When the blast head is lifted from the work surface, abrasive
escapes from the sides of the blast head at high speed. If the
machine is moved with the blast head raised, the abrasive shot
valve must be closed and the blast motor must be off.
Alter the travel direction only after having closed the shot
valve.
The dust container of the filter unit must be emptied regularly.
