STORING MACHINE IN WINTER
If storing your machine for the winter months, it is advised to take the following precautions to prevent damage from
freezing.
• Open all of the ball valves on your unit to prevent moisture from freezing and expanding in the valve.
Note: If wet blasting in the winter time, consider the following:
• At 32°F add rubbing alcohol to the water tank at roughly a 1:100 gallon ratio.
More alcohol can be added if necessary, up to 1:20 ratio.
•
With a tarp, create a tent around the pot, pump, and moisture separator. Place a space heater inside the tent to
keep warm.
•
Empty tank and blow out hoses.
