Emptying Vessel
Always verify all air pressure has escaped from vessel before beginning the abrasive emptying process.
1.
Lay ECO-100 down (gauge/control panel side down).
2.
Disconnect blast hose coupler from abrasive metering valve.
3.
Disconnect red, black and semi-clear blue poly lines (next to abrasive metering valve) by pushing
blue rings on connections (unions) in and pulling poly line out.
4.
Disconnect ½” black air line from the back of abrasive meter valve by pushing blue ring on
connection in and pulling airline out.
5.
Remove the (2) safety clips from the cam and groove fitting above abrasive metering valve.
6.
Lift the arms of the cam fitting upwards to fully disconnect abrasive metering valve from the
bottom of the ECO-100.
7.
Stand the ECO-100 back up. Use a bucket/container to capture leftover abrasive/media.
8.
Left-over abrasive will start to empty out of the vessel. Capture abrasive in bucket to reuse.
If abrasive is flowing out slowly, unthread fill cap to allow air flow.
If changing out hard abrasive to a soft abrasive always verify that vessel is completely
empty of all debris. Shake out abrasive metering valve to remove all debris as well.
9.
Reassemble abrasive metering valve by following the above steps in reverse.
The bolt-on top can be removed for easy access and clean out of the vessel. In
most cases, the bolt-on top only needs to be removed if moisture or a foreign
object has gotten into the vessel.
When reinstalling the bolt-on top make sure that the top plate o-ring is sitting properly in the
o-ring groove.
Torque hex nuts down to 24lbs in a crisscross or star pattern (top of threaded bolts are labled
with numbers to show installation pattern).
