6.1.7. Hose clamp the deadman (#12) to the blast hose assembly (#10) in a comfortable
position behind the nozzle holder (#25).
6.1.8. Wire tie the twinline hose (#15) or electric deadman extension cords to the blast hose
assembly (#10).
6.1.9. Screw nozzle (#11) into the nozzle holder (#25) at end of the blast hose assembly (#10).
6.1.10. Connect the blast hose coupling (#26) to the threaded coupling (#27) on the injection
module (#32). Then install safety pins (#39) and a hose whip check (#40) to protect
against accidental disconnections during operation. See Sections 5.14 and 8.7.
Failure to install safety pins on all blast hose couplings can result in hose disconnects
and could result in serious injury or death. See Sections 5.14 and 8.7.
6.1.11. Connect the twinline hose quick disconnects (#18, #19 & #43) or the electric deadman
extension cord to the mating disconnects on the abrasive blaster (#16, #17 & #42).
On abrasive blasters with multiple outlets, care must be taken while connecting the
twinline hoses or electric deadman extension cords so not to cross connect them. Each
must be connected to the matching blast outlet control. Cross connecting will result in
unintentional blast startup and could result in serious injury or death.
6.1.12. Connect a 150 psi rated (minimum) air supply hose to the air inlet valve (#3) and install
safety pins (#39) and a hose whip check (#40) to protect against accidental
disconnections during operation. See Sections 5.14 and 8.7.
Failure to install safety pins on all air hose couplings can result in hose disconnects and
could result in serious injury or death. See Sections 5.14 and 8.7.
6.1.13. The following steps apply only to abrasive blasters with electric systems. Connect the
electric power cord (#70) to the power-in plug (#17).
6.1.14. Connect the electric power cord alligator clips (#70) to the air compressor battery
terminals or to another 12Vdc power source. See Figure 6.1.
Electric shock hazard. Abrasive blasters with electric deadman blast control systems
must operate on low voltage supply (12-24 volts). To minimize shock hazard, only use
low voltage sources and use caution when connecting the power to the abrasive blaster.
See Section 3.7.
