WET SANDBLASTER
The wet sandblaster is a system that intro-
duces sand into the water stream for abrasive
blasting. It is especially effective for graffiti or
paint removal. Performance of the sand unit
is directly related to the output of your high
pressure washer. The sand is mixed with the
water at the sand head in a tungsten carbide nozzle.
A vacuum is created in the sand nozzle which draws a
sand and air mixture up the sand hose. If the sand becomes
wet or the sand nozzle becomes plugged the vacuum will
be lost and the sand will quit flowing. The sand probe can
be poked directly into a bag or bucket of sand to draw it
up the sand hose. Do not cover the air intake port on the
top of the sand probe or the sand flow will be disrupted.
Uncoil the sand hose completely before use to improve the
sand flow and replace the sand hose when it becomes worn.
The carbide sand mixing nozzle can be unscrewed and
replaced when worn.
Use bagged silica sand for best results through the
sandblaster. Use 16 to 20 grit (course) sand for rust or
concrete. Use 30 grit (fine) sand for fine metal surfaces or
wood. Do not use wet sand or mix different grits of sand.
A sand pot is available for convenient sand storage.
Always use safety goggles and protective clothing when
operating the wet sandblaster.
TURBO NOZZLE
The turbo nozzle multiplies the power of
your machine by rotating the spray jet and
making the water impact the surface harder
to give better cleaning results. Simply re-
place the spray nozzle with the turbo nozzle and squeeze
the trigger on the spray gun with the burner off for high
pressure spray. "Turbo Laser" type nozzles cannot be
used with water over 190º or life of the turbo nozzle will be
greatly decreased and the warranty voided. The "Roto-
max" type nozzle can be used up to 170º F.
HOSES AND HOSE REELS
The high pressure discharge hose
can be extended by connecting addi-
tional hose lengths by means of twist
couplers. Hose extensions generally come in 50 and 100
foot lengths. Specify maximum pressure and temperature
of your machine when ordering. Pressure loss for addi-
tional hose length is minimal.
WARNING:
If your unit is equipped with 250º
steam option, only use 250º rated hose.
Low pressure inlet garden hose is available in 50 and 100
foot lengths. Premium quality, 200 PSI rated hose is
recommended to be used and is available at your local
dealer.
Hose reels are available for convenient
and quick storage of both discharge and
inlet hoses. If the reel begins to leak, re-
place the seal kit in the swivel, or connect
the hose directly to the machine until the
leak is repaired.
The high pressure hose (200' maximum)
should be completely unreeled before use or it can contract
on the drum and cause damage to the hose reel. The low
pressure hose (200' max) should be of sufficient quality that
it will not flatten out when reeled up, or the supply of water
to the machine will be cut off.
SPRAY WANDS
Spray wands are available in different lengths and with
variable pressure adjustment. The dual wand has a low
pressure and high pressure nozzle. When the dual wand is
installed on the machine, the output pressure can be
lowered simply by turning the valve on the dual wand to
divert water into the low pressure nozzle. This lowers the
pressure (PSI) but has little or no effect on the discharge
flow (GPM) or outlet water temperature on hot water
machines.
The short wands are ideal for washing in confined areas
such as a car lot. The longer wands help to clean areas that
could not normally be reached.
A downstream chemical injector is available if harsh chemi-
cals need to be applied and water supply tanks are available
for remote cleaning sites (see page 9).
WARNING:
Wands under 48" in length should not
be used with machines producing over 3000 psi.
