1.2 Safety
Alerts
1.2.1
Clemco uses safety alert signal words, based on
ANSI Z535.4-1998, to alert the user of a potentially
hazardous situation that may be encountered while
operating this equipment. ANSI's definitions of the signal
words are as follows:
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to
alert the user of this equipment of potential
personal injury hazards.
Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to
avoid possible injury or death.
CAUTION
Caution used without the safety alert symbol
indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in property
damage.

1.3 Description
1.3.1
The set-up and primary components of the blast
machine and accessory package are shown in Figure 1.
The remote controls and connections for the controls are
shown in Figure 2.
1.3.2
Clemco blast machines (pressure vessels) are
manufactured to American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (ASME) standards, as described in Section
VII, Div. 1, and carry a National Board certification. It is
the owner’s responsibility to maintain the integrity of the
vessel as may be required by some states. This may
include regular inspection and hydrostatic testing as
described in National Board Inspection Code and
Jurisdictional Regulations and /or Laws.
WARNING
Welding, grinding, or drilling on the blast
machine could weaken the vessel. Compressed
air pressure could cause a weakened blast
machine to rupture, resulting in death or
serious injury. Welding, grinding, or drilling on
the blast machine vessel, without a National
Board R stamp voids the ASME and National
Board certification.
1.3.3
All welding repairs done on the vessel must be
performed by certified welders, at shops holding a
National Board R Stamp. Welding performed by any
welder not properly qualified per the ASME Code voids
ASME and National Board certification of the vessel.
1.3.4
This blast machine is rated for a maximum of
125 psi (pounds per square inch); do not exceed the
rated pressure.
