SB15 15 Lb Capacity Portable Soda Blaster Assembly & Operating Instructions 5
ATTACH AIR PRESSURE REGULATOR
1. Wrap the threads of the Pressure Gauge with thread sealer tape (not included). Screw the Pressure Gauge
into the opening in the face of the Air Pressure Regulator. Tighten snugly using a 9/16” wrench on the back of
the gauge block. Rotate till snug but do not overtighten.
2. Attach Bracket to the Tank using the two Socket Head Screws and wrench tighten. Observe the orientation,
remove the Compression Nut past the Air Pressure Regulator Knob and through the Bracket. Align the tab on the
Bracket with the recess at gauge side of the regulator, attach compression Nut, and finger tighten until snug.
LOADING MEDIA INTO TANK
WARNING!
Never service or disassemble the Soda Blaster with the air hose attached. Always release any built-
up air even after disconnecting the hose.
This portable Soda B laster is designed to be used with Bicarbonate of Soda ( B aking Soda) as the only media. U se
of other media may damage this tool.
Avoid clogging the Media Outlet Hose by making sure the media used is dry. Pull up on the Quick Release Fitting
blue ring and pull out Air Hose. Hold Bushing with a wrench and Hex Nut on the Bushing with another wrench.
Remove entire media discharge assembly slowly, being careful with the Pickup Tube as it may contain residual
media which can spill when removed. Allow time for the trapped aggregate to safely discharge back into the Storage
Tank.
Using a funnel, pour up to 15 pounds of media into the Storage Tank. Inspect condition of the O-ring at the bottom of
the Bushing, and replace if damaged. Insert the Pick up tube into the storage tank, attach the Hex Nut and finger
tighten. Tighten the nut (do not over tighten). Pull up on the blue pressure ring and insert the tube deep into the
fitting. Release the ring (if air leaks around the tube, remove it and cut approximately a quarter of an inch of its
length and reattach.
NOTE: If this is a large job, fill the Tank only 3/4 full and reload as needed to finish the job.
4. If the humidity is 90 to 100%, it is recommended to reduce the amount of media and refill more frequently. This
will reduce the possibility of clogging the bottom of the Storage Tank and the Media Outlet Hose or Ceramic
Discharge Nozzle. Insert the Pickup Tube into the Storage Tank. Place the O-Ring onto the top of the Pickup Tube
and position the Media Regulator on top of it.
ATTACH TO AIR COMPRESSOR
Be sure that the Media Release Valve on top of the Media Regulator is in the OFF (horizontal) position.
Air Hose should be attached to Air Pressure Regulator outlet and Media Regulator. Attach the pressure line from the
air compressor (not included) to the Regulator. Open the Air Input Valve (turn to horizontal position) at the air
pressure inlet. Adjust the air pressure to no more than 90 PSI. To do so, lift the Air Pressure Regulator Knob and
turn it clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the air pressure (Read the pressure on the Pressure
Gauge). When set, push the knob down to lock the Regulator Knob and save the setting.
Check to be sure all connections are tight with no leaks. Disconnect the air supply and discharge air from the tank
before making any needed repairs.
After putting on all required safety equipment, direct the Ceramic Discharge Nozzle on a piece of test material.
Open the Media Release Valve of the Media Regulator. Adjust the media flow as needed by turning the Media Flow
Control Knob. Turning this knob clockwise increases media flow, counterclockwise reduces flow.
You can also adjust the impact power of the media by adjusting the air pressure. Do this by adjusting the Air
Pressure Regulator Knob. Do not exceed 90 PSI.
After completing the test and insuring that the Soda Blaster works properly, turn off media flow. You are now ready
to set up the work piece.
