manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
note:
For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following pages,
refer to the Assembly Diagram near the end of this manual.
assembly
1. Wrap the threads of the Pressure Gauge (7)
with thread sealer tape (not included). Screw the
Pressure Gauge into the opening in the face of the
Air Regulator (9). Tighten using a wrench on the
back of the Gauge block.
Do not overtighten.
2. Attach Bracket (3) to the Tank (1) using the two
Socket Head Screws (4) and wrench tighten.
3. Remove the Compression Nut (2)
from the Air Regulator (9).
4. Insert the knob on the top of the
Air Regulator (9) through the Bracket (3).
5. Align the tab on the Bracket with the recess
at gauge side of the Regulator, attach
Compression Nut (2), and finger tighten until snug.

air Supply
tO prEVEnt SEriOuS inJury FrOM EXpLOSiOn:
use only clean, dry, regulated, compressed air to power this Soda Blaster.
Do not use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases,
or any other bottled gas as a power source for this Soda Blaster.
1. Incorporate a filter, regulator with pressure
gauge, dryer, in-line shutoff valve, and quick
coupler for best service.
an in-line shutoff ball
valve is an important safety device because
it controls the air supply even if the air hose
is ruptured. the shutoff valve should be a
ball valve because it can be closed quickly.
note:
An oiler system should not be used with
this Soda Blaster. The oil will mix with the
material being propelled, causing poor results.
2. Attach an air hose to the compressor's air outlet.
Connect the air hose to the air valve
of the Soda Blaster. Other components, such
as a coupler plug and quick coupler, will make
operation more efficient, but are not required.
note:
Air flow, and therefore Soda Blaster
performance, can be hindered by undersized air
supply components. The air hose must be long
enough to reach the work area with enough extra
length to allow free movement while working.
3. Close the Soda Blaster’s valves.
4. Close the in-line shutoff valve between the
compressor and the Soda Blaster.
5. Turn on the air compressor according to
the manufacturer's directions and allow it
to build up pressure until it cycles off.
6. Adjust the air compressor's output regulator so
that the air output is enough to properly power the
Soda Blaster, but the output will not exceed the
Soda Blaster's maximum air pressure at any time.
Adjust the pressure gradually, while checking the
air output gauge to set the right pressure range.
7. Inspect the air connections for leaks.
Repair any leaks found.
8. If the Soda Blaster will not be used at this
time, turn off and detach the air supply, safely
discharge any residual air pressure, and close
the valves to prevent accidental operation.
