2.8
A main air shutoff valve with lockout has been provided. It is designed to be locked in the
“OFF” position and bleed the air when closed. Close the main air shutoff valve. Make the
compressed air connection to the Blast Cabinet pipe string on the back wall of the Cabinet.
The supply line must be at least as large as the pipe string inlet. If the supply line must be run
more than 25 feet, increase the line to one size larger.

DUST COLLECTOR COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY
2.9.1 Cartridge Dust Collectors with Reverse Pulse
Connect a 1” airline to the Dust Collector manifold. Plug the opposite end of the
manifold. A 90-100 PSI air supply is required for proper operation of the cleaning
pulse. If line pressure exceeds 100 PSI, a regulator must be installed in the Dust
Collector air supply.
NOTE:
IF AIR PRESSURE EXCEEDS 100 PSI, THE DUST COLLECTOR
CARTRIDGES WILL BE SEVERELY DAMAGED.

A qualified electrician may now make the necessary electrical connections in accordance with
applicable codes. Refer to the Electrical Drawings. If not provided with your system, an
Electrical Disconnect shall be provided to open all ungrounded supply conductors. This
disconnect shall be located within sight of the Main Electrical Enclosure.
2.10.1 Complete the wiring from the Dust Collector and other electrical components to the
Main Electrical Enclosure. Once these connections are complete, the Blower Motor
should be jogged and the rotation checked. Fan blades must rotate toward the fan
outlet. If the rotation is incorrect, open the Main Electrical Disconnect and switch two
of the three-phase Motor power connections to reverse the motor direction.
2.10.2
The Blast Cabinet and Reclaimer stand must have a good earth ground. The Urethane
Duct static ground wire must be connected to the earth ground.
2.11
Shut off all manual air valves on the system.
2.12
Open the main air supply valve. Check each manual air valve, all control lines and the entire
system for leaks.
2.13
Before proceeding, check that all gearboxes are filled with oil to the correct level. Refer to
the gearbox manufacturer’s instructions. Generally, the oil level should be just above the
centerline of the input shaft.
2.14
Prior to adding media, review the function and operation of system components as described
in Sections 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0. Also check for and remove from the interior of the Blast Cabinet
cone and Storage Hopper debris (metal shavings, nuts, bolts, etc.) that may plug media
orifices and Blast Guns.
SUGGESTION:
Use a magnet on a long handle or shop vacuum to clean debris from the
bottom of the Blast Cabinet cone and Storage Hopper.
