inspect the canister for excessive debris, water or
to clean the filter. There is a manual drain valve
at the bottom to remove water from the canister
as needed. Make sure the vacuum system is
shutdown before opening the canister door or
attempting to drain the water and never leave
the drain valve open when the vacuum system
is operating.
Note:
Make sure the drain valve is closed, the
canister door seal is clean and the door is
properly latched before operating the vacu-
um system. The system will not be able to
develop enough vacuum if the canister door
is not sealed and latched or the drain valve
is open.
It is normal for some water to travel to the vacuum
filter canister, therefore, it should be drained
each time the debris tank is drained or at least
once every 2 hours of operation. Remember that
excessive water in the canister can pass through
the filter and cause severe damage to the blower.
Always make sure the OMSI PTO is disengaged to
stop the vacuum blower before draining the filter
canister and always close the drain valve when
draining is complete.
Vacuum Hoses
The primary vacuum hose runs from the cutoff
ball valve connection on top of the debris tank
to the vacuum hose connection on the vacuum
filter canister. Another 4” debris suction vacuum
hose runs from the debris inlet elbow on the top
of the debris tank to the Hog Head. The hoses
are equipped with quick connectors at the Hog
Head end that allows additional 4” vacuum hoses
to be added or for servicing Hog Head vacuum
hoses and components. Other quick connectors
provide access to other components of the vacuum
system.
Consistent and proper vacuum is important to the
proper operation of the vacuum system. Debris
buildup, kinks, damage or leaks will cause a reduc-
tion in vacuum at the blasting head, reducing the
efficiency of operation or cause operations to stop
completely. Many problems with vacuum hoses
are caused by damage or kinks. You should avoid
tight bends and maximize the radius of all hose
curves to minimize the chance of a kink. It is very
important to protect the hoses from contact with
sharp objects, abrasive surfaces, foot or wheel
traffic and to inspect the hoses daily to ensure
there is no damage, signs of chaffing or kinks.

Vacuum Relief (Kunkle) Valve
The inside walls of vacuum debris suction hoses
develop wear points caused from the high velocity
of abrasive debris traveling inside the hoses. The
wear points are most prevalent in the outside ra-
dius of tight bends near the blast head and where
the debris hose rises above the truck cab. The life
of the hoses in these areas can be extended by
rotating the hoses 1200 once each week.
Some types of debris will buildup on the inside
walls of the vacuum debris suction hoses to the
point where it restricts debris flow in the system
and reduces vacuum at the blast head. Debris
buildup inside the hoses can be removed by tap-
ping the outside walls with a dead blow ham-
mer while the system is operating at maximum
vacuum. This will flex the hose walls and cause
the debris to break off and be sucked into the
debris tank.
