valve remains open. When the control handle lever is
pressed, the opening is sealed, and air in the outbound
line returns through the inbound line to open the inlet
valve and close the outlet valve. This action pressurizes
the blast machine and begins the blasting process.
Releasing the handle exhausts the control air, which
closes the inlet valve, and opens the outlet valve to
depressurize the blast machine and stop the blasting.
2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 Factory
installation:
If the remote control has
been factory installed, skip to Paragraph 2.3.
2.2 Field
Installation:
Refer to Figure 1.
WARNING
Failure to observe the following procedure
could cause serious injury or death from the
sudden release of compressed air.
•
Empty the blast machine of abrasive.
•
Depressurize the blast machine.
•
Lock out and tag out the compressed air
supply.
•
Bleed the air supply line to the blast
machine.
2.2.1
Remove the existing inlet valve and replace it
with the Recova Inlet Valve. The directional arrow on the
valve points toward the blast machine, indicating the
direction of air flow.
2.2.2
Remove the existing outlet valve.
2.2.3
Install the diaphragm outlet valves so the 1” NPT
exhaust port faces a safe direction. NOTE: The exhaust
port usually faces down. However, an optional Clemco
exhaust muffler (See Section 7.1) may be installed in the
exhaust port with the port facing up, or exhaust piping
installed, and vented into a safe area.
WARNING
If a muffler is not used, the exhaust piping must
be plumbed to direct exhausting air in a
direction that ensures no persons will be
exposed to possible injury from high velocity
air and media which escape when the blast
machine is depressurized.
2.3
Blast hose and control hose connections
2.3.1
Uncoil the blast hose and lay the 25-ft. twinline
hose alongside it.
