ROUTINE SERVICE INTERVALS
Due to the nature and environment of use, Shot Blasters could be exposed to severe operating
conditions. Some general maintenance guidelines will extend the useful life of your machine.
• The initial service for your Shot Blaster should be performed after 25 hours of use, at which
time your mechanic (or authorized repair shop) should complete all the recommended checks
in the schedule above. The maintenance log is handy for keeping a record of the maintenance
performed and the parts used for servicing your Shot Blaster.
• Regular service according to the schedule above will prolong the life of the Shot Blaster and
prevent expensive repairs.
• Keeping your Shot Blaster clean and free from debris is the single most important regular
maintenance operation, over and above the checks in the service schedule above, that can be
performed. After each use your Shot Blaster should be cleaned to remove any dust and debris
from the undercarriage and surrounding components.
• In the Service Schedule above, items that should be checked, replaced or adjusted are
indicated by “o” in the appropriate column. For ease of recording place, a checkmark through
the “o” when the item is complete. If an item is not required or not completed place an “x”
through the “o” in the box.
• Failure to have your Shot Blaster regularly serviced and properly maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions will lead to premature failure and void the warranty.

OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The ELEPHANT Shot Blasters are constructed according to existing safety rules and
regulations. These technical precautions should not be removed or changed under any
circumstances. While operating the machines the following points should also be kept in mind:
The instructions provided in this manual are done so to ensure the operator’s safety as well
as that of others, the equipment, and the job site. Failure to follow these guidelines can lead to
serious personal injury and even death. The operator and any service personnel should read
and understand the entire manual before working with or servicing any Contec Shot Blaster.
•Disconnect the machine before commencing any servicing or maintenance work
•In nearly every part of the ELEPHANT®high electrical currents and mechanical forces
are transmitted. The danger of injury is therefore not only from electric shock, but also
from moving parts of the machine.
•It is necessary to use safety goggles with side protectors and ear plugs. All persons, in
the operating area of the Shot blaster must take these precautions. When switching on,
or lifting the machine during blasting, it is possible that shot escapes at high speed.
Unprotected eyes can be seriously damaged.
•Never wear loose or poorly fitting clothing. Flapping sleeves may be pulled into the
machine causing serious injury.
•All rotating parts of the machine are suitably protected by covers, which prevent clothes
or similar from entering the machine. Under no circumstances should these covers be
removed before you switch the machine on.
•Access by unauthorised persons into the blasting area should be prevented. (Due to a
high risk of slipping on lost shot)
•The ELEPHANT®should be switched off immediately if unusual noises or vibrations are
detected during the operating of the machinery. A thorough check must be carried out in
order to detect the cause.
•Always pre-check the floor for undulations, steps, stones, screws or other foreign bodies.
It might be necessary to brush, or in extreme cases, vacuum the floor. Wet or oily spots
can make blasting impossible and damage the Dust Collector.
•Check the power cables regularly as damage may have occurred while operating the
machine or transportation. Always disconnect the cables before examination and treat all
electrical parts with extreme care.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
SETTING UP YOUR SHOT BLASTER
Your Elephant Shot Blaster comes fully assembled with handle and motor fully installed.
Transport the ELEPHANT® and the Dust Collector to the floor which is to be blasted. Shot can
now be loaded, and your Shot Blaster is ready for use.
OPERATION
Operating
Check and make sure that all wear & tear parts are in good condition. If there are any doubts,
replace them immediately. Check the power cables.
Connect the ELEPHANT® with the hose to the Dust Collector. It is important, that there are no
lesions or holes in the whole length of the hose. Even small holes or a wrong connection can
significantly decrease the performance of the dust collector.
Connect the power cables of the ELEPHANT® and the Dust Collector to the sockets. Insulation
tape or similar can be used to secure the power cable to the hose.
Check the floor for screws, nuts or stones etc., and sweep the floor if necessary, with a brush or
a vacuum system. Small obstacles like joints pose no problems for the ELEPHANT®. If there
are bigger steps or similar check if it is possible for the machine to drive over them before the
turbine is switched on.
In the case of higher steps, difficult joints or severe undulation of the floor it is possible, that the
blast opening of the machine rises too far above the floor. The sealing of the Shot blaster
becomes ineffective and shot escapes from the machine at high speed. This can cause injury to
persons and equipment. Before operating always check the condition of the floor to prevent this
from occurring.
Remove the separator lid. Make sure that the shot valve is closed and pour in the shot until it
reaches the level of the sieve. Do not fill above the sieve level as suction from the Dust
Collector will suck it away with the dust. Only place new or clean shot in the shot compartment.
Clean the sieve in the shot compartment if it is blocked.
Switch the Dust Collector on.
Switch the turbine on.
Push the shot valve lever on the right side of the handle. The ELEPHANT® will start to blast the
floor. Pull or push the machine in the direction you want. If the machine stays still on one spot, it
will blast a hole in the floor!

ELEPHANT SHOT BLASTER
OWNER’S MANUAL

OIPB –C
After a few meters of blasting close the shot valve and stop the machine. Check the track on
the floor. If the track is not evenly blasted, adjust the position of the shot cage as described in
the “Adjusting the Blast Track” Section.
The dust container of the Dust Collector must be emptied on a regular basis. The intervals
depend on the size of the container and on the condition of the floor.
ADJUSTING THE BLAST TRACK
The blasting path is adjusted by turning the shot cage in the blast chamber. If blasting leaves
an uneven path, then one side of the path is being blasted more heavily than the other.
Remove the shot hose situated in between shot valve and shot enter pipe. The shot cage is
situated under the shot enter pipe. It is secured by two screws situated on both sides of the
shot enter pipe. Loosen the screws, remove the shot enter pipe and the shot cage will turn
freely.
If the path is heavier on the left-hand side compared to the right, turn the cage counter-
clockwise. Turn in a clockwise direction if the path is heavier on the right-hand side. Retighten
the screws, fix the shot enter pipe and shot hose and try a test run. Repeat the adjustment if
necessary, until the path is smooth, even and without variation.
BLAST WHEEL AND SHOT CAGE INSPECTION
The blast wheel is a pure wear & tear part and must be checked regularly. It is recommended to
do a first check after approximately 50 hours of blasting. The life time of the blast wheel
depends on the application of the machine.
For example, a lot of wear & tear occurs when blasting soft concrete with a lot of surface fat.
Concrete dust is a very aggressive substance and increases wear & tear enormously. This
decreases when blasting steel or ceramic tiles. To give an accurate figure for the lifetime of the
wheel is therefore impossible. As a rough guide, this could be anywhere between 50 and 150
hours.
Take off the blast chamber with the reclaim chamber. The reclaim chamber is fixed with 4
screws on the blast chamber. The flange of the reclaim chamber must be sealed with silicon.
The blast chamber is also fixed with 4 screws to the machine frame. It should also be sealed
with silicon.
Now the blast wheel should be visible. In the middle of the wheel there is a hexagonal shaped
screw. Loosen the screw and remove the wheel from the blast chamber. Check the wear &
tear on the wheel. The thickness of the five blades should not be less than 3 mm. If less, the
blade could break and destroy the whole wheel. The same applies, if one of the blades is
damaged or broken as a result of a foreign body entering the wheel.
The shot cage is like the blast wheel - a pure wear & tear part and must be checked regularly.
Two different kinds of wear & tear on the cage are possible. The window in the cage has a
width of 30 mm. Change the cage if this width is more than 33 mm. The second type of wear &
tear is the decrease in the thickness of the cage wall itself. Change the cage before a hole
appears.
If the blast wheel and cage are in a good condition replace the parts using the opposite
direction to that described above.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
The turbine motor is not working.
-Has the blast chamber filled with shot and blocked the blast wheel during transportation of
the machine?
-Is the power connection correct? (230V, single phase or 400/460V three phase)
-Is the motor overload protection tripped? (The turbine switch is also the overload protection)
-Are the cables in good condition and properly laid?
The blast performance is too low.
-Has the blast wheel worn out?
-Has the shot cage been correctly adjusted?
-Is the shot cage worn out?
-Is the sieve (Appendix diagram No. 81) in the shot compartment blocked?
-Is the shot valve (Appendix diagram No. 13) blocked?
-Has the shot worn out? (Check the size of the shot)
The ELEPHANT®works for a short time and then loses all the shot ('carpeting effect').
-Has the blast wheel worn out?
-Has the shot cage been correctly adjusted?
-Is the shot cage worn out?
-Does the rubber sealing of the magnetic frame lie snugly with the floor?
-Is the rubber sealing worn out?
-Is the belt of the turbine too loose? (The belt will slip on the pulleys and the blast
wheel will not rotate quickly enough)
-Is it possible to blast the floor? Check the condition. Is it dry and not too elastic or soft?
