6.9.5
Make sure the guide nut is fastened tightly to the
guide.
WARNING
Replace the guide and guide nut if the nut is not
tightly fused to the guide. A loose-fitting nut
could work off the guide, permitting the muffler
assembly to launch under pressure and cause
severe injury.
6.9.6
Clean parts to be reused, with a non-caustic
solvent or detergent, and dry thoroughly.
6.9.7
Reassemble, taking care to correctly insert the
screws in the seat plate. The screw holes are the three
closest to the center. Refer to the illustration in Figure 25.
6.9.8
Firmly tighten the lock nuts.
6.9.9
Use a pipe wrench to attach the muffler
assembly to the exhaust elbow. In its final position, the
muffler must face up.
WARNING
The muffler reduces exhaust noise and
prevents abrasive from exhausting upward or
sideways when the blast machine is
depressurized. To reduce risk of injury from
abrasive carried by high velocity air, the muffler
must be installed with the body facing up.

Remove and Install Reusable Control Hose
Fittings - Figure 26
6.10.1
Control hoses may be shortened and cut to length
as follows:
1. Remove the hose end by placing the sleeve in a vise
or use a backup wrench on the sleeve to prevent it
from turning. Unscrew the insert by turning it
counterclockwise.
2. Turn sleeve clockwise to remove from the hose.
3. Cut hose to length.
4. Lubricate inside and outside of hose with SAE 20 or
equal oil.
5. Turn sleeve counterclockwise to install on hose. Do
not over tighten the sleeve; stop tightening as soon as
the hose bottoms out against the sleeves internal
shoulder, and back it out 1/4 turn. Over tightening will
cause the hose to curl inward and could cause
