SAFETY TIPS
1 .
The first step before any maintenance or inspection takes place should be to disconnect
the power. This includes removing all electric, pneumatic and hydraulic power sources.
Then LOCK-OUT and TAG-OUT the machine.
2 . Wear proper eye protection at all times.
3 .
Practice good preventive maintenance.
4.
Practice good housekeeping.
5. Replace worn parts when necessary.
6. Do not reach into elevator access while machine is in operation.
7. Do not attempt to open blast cabinet access doors until blast wheels have come to a
complete stop.

11.
Be sure all electrical inspections or changes are done by a qualified electrician.
Routine inspections usually require climbing onto your machine. Loose abrasive can
cause dangerous footing. Be alert and careful.
Be sure to read this operation and maintenance manual fully and carefully before
attempting any operation or repairs to this equipment.
Use a scoop or scraper when removing abrasive from a jammed elevator. DO NOT USE
YOUR HANDS!
If
a jammed elevator belt is stretched tight, the tension in the belt will
release when excess abrasive is removed causing the pulley to rotate rapidly in the
reverse direction. Serious personal injury could result if a hand or forearm is in the path
of the rotating buckets.
12. During an electrical power shortage or failure, disconnect the main power switch and
manually operate the pneumatic solenoid valve to close the abrasive flow.
13.
An adequate dust collection system should be used to insure a safe working environment.
1 4. After replacing parts, make sure all the tools used are removed from the machine. Be
sure all bolts and nuts are tightened. The loose connection of a rotating part could cause
the part to fly off with explosive force causing serious damage to machine and injury to
the operator.
15.
If
the system should malfunction during cycle immediately depress the emergency stop.
