Manual No. 03358 Rev. I
3.0 OPERATION
WARNING
Refer to the manuals listed in paragraph 1.1.2.
Do not operate this equipment before reading
the instruction manuals for all equipment.
3.1 Routine
Set-up
3.1.1
The compressor should be located upwind from
the blasting operation to prevent dust from entering the
compressor intake.
3.1.2
Make sure the air coupling gaskets are in place
and in good condition before connecting a 3/4" ID or
larger air line from the compressor to the air supply hose
coupling previously installed on the blast machine inlet.
3.1.3
Make sure the coupling gaskets are in place and
in good condition before connecting the blast hose to the
quick coupling on the blast machine.
3.1.4
Use safety lock-pins or safety wire to lock
matting couplings on air hose and blast hose together to
prevent accidental separation during blasting.
WARNING
Hose disconnection while under pressure could
cause serious injury or death. Use safety lock-
pins and safety cables on all coupling
connections to prevent hose couplings from
accidental disconnection.
3.1.5
Connect the twinline control hose banded to the
blast hose to the control hose on the blast machine.
3.2 Start-Up
3.2.1
Make sure that all blast hose and compressed-
air supply hose connections are secured with safety
lock-pins and safety cables.
3.2.2
Make sure that the safety petcock located on the
inlet valve is open. The petcock is open when the
petcock lever is in-line with the petcock, as shown if
Figure 2.

WARNING
To prevent severe injury from accidental
activation of the blast machine, open the safety
petcock when the blast machine is not in use.
Opening the petcock prevents unintentional
blasting. The control handle can not activate
the machine when the petcock is open.
3.2.3
Check to make sure the remote control handle
lever is in the up (no blast) position, and that the handle
lever and safety lock move freely.
WARNING
A separate manual is supplied with the remote
control handle. Do not operate the machine
before first reading the remote control handle
operating instructions.
3.2.4
Check to make sure that the handle lever will
not seal the opening on control handle unless the safety
lever lock is pulled down.
WARNING
Malfunctioning control handles could cause
unintentional actuation of a blast machine, or
prevent a machine from deactivating upon
release. Malfunctioning control handles must
be taken out of service immediately and
repaired or replaced. Serious injury or death
can result from unintentional blasting.
