Components and Assembly

•
Do not fix any rope or chain to the handle. Only fix ropes or chains at locations as
shown (Figure 10). The handle is only fixed with two screws and cannot be used for
transport or to fix ropes or hoisting equipment.
•
When transporting the machine with vehicles, proceed in such a manner that dam
-
age is avoided. Use at least two straps to secure the machine to the cabin of the
vehicle. Ensure that all parts of the machine are fixed (Figure 11).
•
To reduce the height of the machine you can slide the handle down. To do so,
slacken the two fixing screws and slide the handle down. Do not forget to fix the
fixing screws again.
PREPARING FOR OPERATION
In order to avoid downtimes, a regular inspection is essential. Before start-up, complete
the following:
•
Ensure all protective housings and hose connections are fitted, and that the dust
collector is connected correctly.
•
Check that all machine parts are assembled safely and correctly.
•
Check that all screws and other fasteners are tight.
•
Remove any foreign bodies from the abrasive storage, feed spout, blast wheel
parts, electrical connections, motors, etc.
•
Check parts for damage and wear; replace if necessary.
•
Empty dust collector container.
•
Check the level of abrasive in the storage area; fill if necessary.
•
Check that the height adjustment is approx. 5/16”-1/2” (8-12 mm) between magnet
and surface.
•
Surface must be swept for loose parts prior to operation. Ensure that machine can
travel over all inequalities on the surface; small inequalities like weld seams or floor
joints are not an issue.
•
Run magnetic sweep over area to remove any loose metallic materials.
•
Use hand magnet to “seed” magnetic seals by placing media on the surface in front
of the machine. Push machine over media until gone.
Note:
Whenever the machine is not used for blast cleaning, the abrasive valve must be
closed.
