4 Installation
4.1 Set-up for initial installation or reinstallation
(1)
Place the blast machine.
Firm and even ground.
(2)
Install air supply.
Start the compressor and bring it up to operating temperature
(5 to 10 min.).
Only use compressors whose rating do not
exceed 8 bar!
Attach an air line (appropriate dimension) with all necessary
gaskets in place to the air outlet of the compressor and safety
lock the couplings.
Escaping air is dangerous and lowers
efficiency!
Carefully open the air valve of the compressor to blow debris
and moisture out the attached air line.
Close the air valve.
Connect the air line to the blast machine and safety lock it.
For troublefree blasting we recommend an air supply free of oil
and water (air cooler with cyclone and automatic drain).
(3) Connect the blast hose, suction
hose and the remote control
hoses.
Connect the blast and suction hose to the blast machine and
safety lock them.
Check that all gaskets are in place.
Connect both twinline hoses (yellow / brown and red / blue)
to the
corresponding
twinline hoses coming from the blast
machine.
Attention! A reversed connection causes malfunction and
danger of injuries!
(4) Choose the right brush.
Flat brush for flat surfaces.
Elbow brush for edges.
(5) Put on the protective equipment.
Abrasive-resistant clothing.
Eye protection, for example goggles with safety glass.
Leather gloves.
(6) Check moisture separator, pulse
pressure and remove moisture
from the blast machine.
Open the air valve of the compressor.
Open the ball valve.
Check pulse pressure (regulator knob with gauge on the
suction unit).
Maximum pressure 5 bar.
