3. Set-up, operation and shut-down
3.1 Preparation for operation
For remote control system start up you should follow these instructions:
1. If necessary shorten the RC hose to the length of the used blasting hose.
2. Connect the fittings provided in the package with RC hose. Connect RC hose to distant control
handle DMH from one side and TWINLINE line of the blasting machine from another side.
ATTENTION!
DO NOT TIGHTEN UNIONS TOO MUCH, IN PARTICULAR THE UNIONS OF RC HANDLE. IT
CAN DAMAGE SOME COMPONENTS AND CAUSE AN AIR LEAK.
3. Ensure that all connections are leak-proof.
4. Ensure that all connections on the RC valve and RC handle DMH are connected properly,
and according to the color. Transverse joint will make the system non- operational.
5. Fix RC handle DMH to the blasting hose, using clamp bands right behind the nozzle holder.
6. We recommend to connect a twin hose Twinline to the blasting hose using clamp bands every 1.5 m.
ATTENTION!
ALWAYS USE AN OIL-MOISTURE SEPARATOR WHEN USING REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM TO
PREVENT WEAR ON RC VALVE.
BESIDES, AN OIL-MOISTURE SEPARATOR OPTIMIZES ABRASIVE BLASTING OPERATIONS.
7. Ensure that compressor is positioned out of the abrasive blasting operations zone on
downwind side.
8. Start compressor and increase pressure and temperature up to operational values.
9. Open the ball valve at machine compressed air line (the handle of the open valve should
be parallel to the compressed air line).
10. Open the safety ball valve 14 (Fig.2.1).
11. Close metering valve FSV by setting adjusting handle in the central position.
12. Connect compressed air hose to hose coupling of the machine. Compressed air hose
diameter should be at least 1.1/4”. Lock hose coupling with a safety clip or wire.
