LOADING THE ABRASIVE
• To prevent clogging, ensure that the abrasive you use is dry.
• While you may re-use abrasive, remember that abrasive grit/
material does wear out. After use, abrasive becomes smoother and
rounder, thus reducing its effectiveness.
NOTE:
Re-using abrasive may also cause clogging due to fine debris

or more, only fill the tank
½
full
and check the water trap more
frequently.
5. Replace the filler cap ensuring the
0-ring is in place.
NOTE:
Place your air compressor in another room to prevent damage
from the intake of abrasive dust laden air.
ABRASIVE FLOW ADJUSTMENT
• Choose a larger nozzle for a broader spray pattern. Choose a
smaller nozzle for more focused spray.
• Adjust air pressure with the throttle valve. Adjust abrasive flow with
abrasive control valve,
• Watch for abrasive clogging. Release pressure from the tank if
necessary and replace the abrasive with drier or cleaner abrasive.
