OPERATING INFORMATION
OPERATING INFORMATION
Operation Notice:
• Before operation, check the sealing of the valve,
connecting fitting and hoses and replace when necessary
to ensure safe and reliable performance.
• The abrasive material should be filtered through a screen
to prevent debris from getting into the tank, gate valve or
nozzle.
• Do not add too much abrasive material. Adding too
much may cause the sealing head not to seal properly.
• If abrasive stops flowing, disengage from foot pedal to
allow abrasive to flow back into the pressure pot.
• Use good quality, dry abrasives that are designed to be
recycled. Keep abrasives dry. Moisture will cause clog-
ging and flow problems. Replace abrasive when abrasive
breaks down. Worn abrasive will cause decreased strip
rates.
• To change abrasive, place nozzle end of the hose in a
woven bag and depress the foot pedal until all abrasive is
removed from the unit.
• Discharge water separator as needed. Minimum 1-2 times
daily.
Operation Notice:
• Clean dust collector filters as needed. Under certain
dusty conditions, the filters may need to be cleaned
multiple times during a 6 hour cycle. Failure to clean will
cause the dust collector motors to overheat and this
condition
is not covered by the warranty.
• Periodically inspect the sealing head for any possible
damage or deterioration; improper sealing affects
abrasive blast pressure and results in air loss.
• When you are finished using the machine, clean all
abrasive out in order to prevent breakdown during next
operation. Store abrasives in a dry location.
• Avoiding clogging: Keep abrasive media dry!
Nozzle
size needs to be 3-4 times larger than the size of the
abrasive being used.
