Note:
All operating and maintenance personnel assigned to this machinery should read
and understand these Operating Instructions before attempting any operational
or maintenance work on this equipment. Also, Blastrac highly recommends that
all operating and maintenance personnel receive a thorough training regimen
from an authorized Blastrac representative before attempting to operate or
maintain this equipment.
1. Be sure all guards are correctly installed and functioning properly

•
Before beginning work, listen to make sure the filter cartridges are being
pulsed at regular 10 second intervals. Filter damage and poor machine
performance will occur if the filters are not pulsed at regular intervals.
DO NOT operate equipment with excessive hose length that may lead to the
escape of hazardous dust due to insufficient suction.
For normal concrete surfaces, Blastrac does not recommend using more than the
50 feet of exhaust hose supplied with the dust collector.
Adding additional hose
can cause insufficient suction which will allow unwanted dust and contaminants to
accumulate, thereby causing premature wear to surface preparation equipment internal
components. Additional hose can only be added when cleaning steel surfaces. Contact
your Blastrac representative for your specific steel cleaning application.
