1. Turn OFF the exhauster.

Media Unloading
‒ Figure 13
4.3.1
To empty the cabinet and reclaimer of media:
1. Use the blow-off nozzle to blow off the cabinet
interior and run the exhauster until all media is
recovered from the cabinet.
2. Turn OFF the exhauster and place an empty bucket
or other suitable container under the metering valve.
3. Unscrew the plastic drain plug from the metering
valve, permitting media to flow into the bucket. If
media does not flow, it has caked; open the fill door
and stir media until it starts to flow.
4. Before the container becomes too heavy to easily
manage, replace the plug and empty the container.
5. Replace the plug when the reclaimer is empty, or, if
changing media type, purge the media hose, as
noted below.
Figure 13
4.3.2
To purge the media hose, before replacing the
plug turn ON the exhauster, grasp the gun, and press
the foot pedal using the gun to blow off the cabinet
interior until the air from the gun and the cabinet are
clear. Turn OFF the exhauster and replace the plug.

Loading and Unloading Parts
Use solid fixturing to hold heavy parts in place.
Do not remove lift equipment until the part is
adequately supported to prevent movement.
Moving heavy, unsupported parts may cause
them to shift or topple, and cause severe injury.
This is especially important with the use of
turntables.
NOTE: Parts must be free of oil, water, grease, or
other contaminants that will clump media or clog the
filter cartridge.
If parts are oily or greasy, degrease and
dry them prior to blasting.
4.4.1
Load and unload parts through either door.
4.4.2
When blasting small parts or objects having
small pieces that could become dislodged and fall off,
place an appropriately sized screen over the grate (or
under the grate when frequently blasting small parts) to
prevent parts from falling into the hopper. If an object
should fall through the grate, stop blasting immediately
and retrieve it.
4.4.3
Close door; the door interlock system prevents
blasting if either door is open.
