WARNING

SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
MACHINES / RECLAIMS WITH DUST BAG
*** READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT ***
1. Remove plastic from machine.
2. Remove lag bolts from each of the
four legs, then remove machine
from the pallet.
3. Attach filter bag to BLOWER outlet
with hose clamp
4. Connect motor male plug, to
female plug cord from the light box.
5. Connect compressed air supply to
fitting provided on left rear leg of
the machine. Air piping should be
of the same size as the connection
point, offering no restriction to flow.
(DO NOT USE QUICK-DISCONNECTS)
6. Connect the factory installed
ELECTRICAL cord from light box,
to a 120-Volt, 60 HZ, 1 Phase
power supply. A 20 AMP breaker
or fuse should be used.
MAKE SURE MACHINE IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MACHINE WITH RECLAIM
*** READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT ***
1. Preparing parts for Blasting:
All parts to be processed must be free of
oil, grease, and moisture. Make sure parts
are dry before putting into cabinet for
cleaning.
2. Air Pressure:
Set air pressure at 80 PSIG. Most parts
for blasting cleaning cabinet should be
blasted at 80 psi. Designate parts to be
processed, start at lower pressure and
work up the PSI scale to obtain desired
finish.
***WARNING***
DO NOT CONNECT TO HIGH
PRESSURE BOTTLE GAS, RUPTURE
AND EXPLOSION CAN OCCUR.
3. Gun Angle and Distance:
Direct blast at part with an approximate
(45-60) degree angle with ricochet toward
the back side of cabinet. Do not hold at
90 degree to part being processed. This
will cause the media to blast to bounce
back into the blast stream and slow
blasting action. Also 90-degree angle will
cause excessive wear on gun and viewing
window. Hold gun approximately 6 inches
from part being cleaned.
***WARNING***
GUN MUST ALWAYS BE POINTED
AWAY FROM THE OPERATOR AND
TOWARD ITEM BEING PROCESSED.
NEVER BLAST WITH ANY OF THE
CABINET DOORS OPEN. WHILE
LOADING AND UNLOADING, NO ONE
SHOULD BE AT THE OPERATOR
STATION AT FRONT OF THE BLAST
CABINET.
4. Media:
Media should be good quality and dry.
Damp media will cause the media not to
flow and will clog abrasive flow. NEVER
USE SAND. See **CAUTION**, below. If
you are having a problem selecting media
for a specified job, contact your distributor
for their recommendations.
**CAUTION** **CAUTION**
DO NOT USE SAND BLASTING SAND.
THIS WILL CAUSE SILICA DUST
WHICH IS THE CAUSE OF SILICOSIS
DISEASE, A CONDITION OF MASSIVE
FIBROSIS OF THE LUNGS.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
MACHINE WITH RECLAIM
*** READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT ***
1. Blasting Gun:
After 10 - 12 hours of blasting time the air
orifice and nozzle should be checked. If
the nozzle shows ear, rotate 1/4 turn to
prevent uneven wear. If this is not
checked, it could result in destruction of
nozzle and damage to the gun housing. If
wear is detected on the orifice tip,
replace.
2. Caking of Media:
A. Media caking is caused by
moisture in compressed air supply
or oily and greasy parts. If this is
not corrected, media will not flow
and will clog gun. Check air supply.
If water or moisture is present,
install a good moisture trap. If oily
or greasy parts are being blast
treated, you should first degrease
and dry parts.
B. If blast gun should occasionally
clog, place thumb over nozzle
(hold tight) and push foot valve
down 3 to 4 seconds. This will
cause the system to back blast
through the gun and media hose,
and clear the media hose.
3. Gun Air Pressure Drop:
Set air regulator at 80 PSI on air gauge.
Push foot valve and if gauge reading
should drop, check the air supply pipe or
hose. A restriction in the supply line such
as reducers or quick couplers will cause
pressure drop. Also, if the blast cabinet is
too far from the air compressor, a
pressure drop can occur. We recommend
1/2" - 1" I.D. air supply line. The bigger
the better.
4. Poor Visibility - Excessive Dust:
A. Cabinet Air inlet blocked, check
for blockage.
B. Dust collector bag needs emptied.
C. With motor off, grasp bag and
shake
D. Media breakdown - replace
media and clean dust collector.
5. Poor Media Flow:
A. Wet or damp media caused from
moisture or oil in compressed
air line.
B. Use dry air or install a moisture
filter.
C. Replace media and clean media
sump and hose.
D. Media level should be below
media screen.
E. Hole in media hose from wear,
replace hose assembly.
**CAUTION** **CAUTION**
DO NOT USE SAND BLASTING SAND.
THIS WILL CAUSE SILICA DUST
WHICH IS THE CAUSE OF SILICOSIS
DISEASE, A CONDITION OF MASSIVE
FIBROSIS OF THE LUNGS.
