MAINTENANCE
Daily before Starting the Machine
1. Pay special attention to places on the blasting hose where kinks may have occurred
during operation.
2. If any kind of damage to the blasting hose or the machine itself is noted, such dam-
age must be repaired either by an IceTech technician or by the owner’s qualified per-
sonnel who has been trained by IceTech in the repair and maintenance of IceTech dry
ice blasting machines and accessories. Beyond the necessary knowledge, the person
concerned must have appropriate tools and equipment, as well as the auxiliary
materials required, at his/her disposal.
In this way it is ensured that the repaired blasting hose/ machine continues to comply
with the safety regulations after repair.
