LOADING THE ABRASIVE
• To prevent clogging, ensure that the abrasive you use is dry.
• While you may re-use abrasive, remember that abrasive grit/
material does wear out. After use, abrasive becomes smoother and
rounder, thus reducing its effectiveness.
NOTE: Re-using abrasive may also cause clogging due to fine debris
contained in the mixture from prior use.

Using the sieve and funnel

abrasive medium into the tank,
see Fig 8.
• Do not fill the tank more than
¾
full.
• If humidity in your region is 90%
or more, only fill the tank
½
full
and check the water trap more
frequently.
5. Replace the filler cap ensuring the
0-ring is in place.
NOTE: Place your air compressor in another room if possible to prevent
damage from the intake of abrasive dust laden air.
