SETTING THE PANEL CONTROLS (cont.)
4. Next set the blast pressure. Pull the ‘blast pressure’ knob outwards to unlock it. (pic 4)
5. Turn the knob clockwise until desired pressure is reached. The PHX-150 has a blast
pressure range from 45 psi to 125 psi. Satisfactory results are generally achieved in the
80-100 psi range for most applications. If you are unsure or concerned about damage to
the item being blasted, start at a lower blast pressure and increase it gradually until the
optimum performance level is achieved. (pic 5)
6. Push the knob in to lock the blast rate. (pic 6)
Note: The PHX-150 utilizes an additional regulator that maintains the blast pressure at
45 psi, even if the control panel knob is turned all the way down. This prevents “freeze-
ups” in the airlock assembly, which will occur if ice continually feeds without
sufficient pressure to propel it to the gun.
7. Turn the Arm/Disarm switch clockwise to arm the PHX-150. The indicator will turn
green, and the momentary switch will return to the center position. (pic 7)
8. Point the gun at the target or in a safe direction. Push upwards on the safety catch to
release and pull the trigger to initialize blasting. (pic 8)
