the locating pin and three internal locking screws.
•The nozzle and hose assembly should swivel freely in the Workhead.
•Connect the 3” vacuum hose to the Workhead by means of a hose clamp.
RECOVERY STAGE (1-2)
The recovery stage is a pre-assembled drum lid with the inlet vacuum hose connected to a 3” Cam lock fitting with an
internal elbow directed tangentially to the drum internal surface. The cyclonic action of the flow through the elbow drops
larger particles of dirt and debris from the stream onto the drum base resulting in cleaner air being removed from the
recovery stage through the 2nd Cam lock exhaust fitting and ducted to the filter stage 1-4. Both fittings are assembled with
gasket and lock nuts. Flow direction is marked on the hose fittings and drum lid (color coded on hose end to match stage
connector fittings). The drum top and drum top gasket are installed on the 55 gallon barrel.
FILTER (CARTRIDGE) STAGE (1-4)
The filter unit is partly assembled on a 55 gallon drum lid with the inlet connected to a 3” Cam lock fitting. The outlet fitting
supports the bracket, filter locating. Both fittings are assembled with gaskets and lock nuts. The filter cartridge is assembled
on the bracket with furnished locking nut. The filter unit (1-4) will not pass particles of size greater than 3.0 micros. The drum
top and drum top gasket are installed on the 55 gallon barrel.
H.E.P.A. FILTER STAGE (1-5)
If the CBS operation is removing hazardous coating materials, a H.E.P.A. filter unit must be utilized. The H.E.P.A. filter unit
will remove all material from the stream down to 0.3 micron size. The unit, if required, is delivered with the H.E.P.A. filter,
implosion valve and vacuum gage installed. The implosion valve is set at 60” H2O vacuum to protect the enclosure. The
vacuum gage is used to determine the filter condition, to be discussed further in the maintenance section. Vacuum hoses
are color coded and flow direction indicators are marked to insure proper equipment installation orientation and vacuum
flow.
VACUUM STAGE (1-6)
The vacuum stage unit, as shipped, is almost completely assembled. The unit should be located to allow easy connection to
the compressor and vacuum lines exiting the pre-filter or the H.E.P.A. filter stage according to the system requirements. The
muffler is assembled to the vacuum stage unit with hardware supplied. Par list 1-6 defines specific equipment included.

SECTION VI
START-UP REQUIREMENTS
CBS KITS
After all equipment has been satisfactorily installed and checked out, the system is ready to be configured for start up. The
following steps should be followed for the correct start up sequence.
1. Insure that all interconnection hoses, both vacuum and air, are laid out with no kinks, minimum bends and
connectors complete and secure.
2. Insure that the Workhead and the shut off safety switch are assembled properly and connected securely at hose
connectors.
3. Insure the operator is equipped with the recommended protective clothing and equipment in accordance with
NIOSH ▪Air-fed hood
▪Remote controls
▪Canvas jacket, pants and leather gloves
▪Also recommended is that the air-lid hood be equipped with an air purifier, free air pump and or
CO (Carbon Monoxide monitor).
OPERATING PROCEDURE
Start-up
•Turn on compressed air.
•Open valve on vacuum pump air supply valve.
Blast Operation
•Pick up Workhead and remote control switch.
•Place Workhead brush in full contact with the work surface and close remote switch.
•A short delay will be observed until the abrasive reaches the Workhead.
•Adjustment of the pot regulators will adjust abrasive flow to the Workhead.
•Adjust regulators until the abrasive flow produces the desired amount of surface cleaning.
•The remote control must be depressed as long as blasting is required.
•The Workhead brush must be in constant contact with the work surface to achieve optimum vacuum recovery and
control of abrasive and dust generation.
Routine Intermittent Shutdown
Release the remote control switch and the blasting will stop. The vacuum runs constantly while the vacuum pump unit is
operating. The switch controls the blasting only. Keep the brush in full contact with the work surface to insure no escape of
the blast abrasive during start-up and shutdown cycles.
Shutdown –Reloading Abrasives
•Release the remote control switch.
•Close the valve on vacuum pump air supply valve.
•Fill blast pot manually to desired capacity.

10
•To start blast operation again, open the air supply to the vacuum pump valve and open the blast pot air supply
valve.
•Intermittent shutdowns provide a time for brush inspection for deterioration and replacement as well as inspection
of vacuum for pressure leaks in the system.
Shutdown –End of Work Period
•Close the air supply valve on compression and shutdown in accordance with compressors manufacturers’
instruction.
•Bleed off air in compression supply line by opening air supply valve until pressure is released, then close again.
•System is now de-pressurized.
MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance performed as scheduled will insure that the CBS equipment will operate at high efficiency with
minimum unscheduled down time. The recommended program is as follows:
Daily Maintenance
•Check the operation protective equipment to ensure that all required equipment is being used and is in good
working condition.
•All blast hose couplings must be properly safety wired or pinned.
•All rubber washers and seals on nozzles, blasting hose and air line couplings must be properly installed and in
good condition.
•The Workhead nozzle must be tightly secured to the nozzle coupling. A rubber sealing washer must be used to
prevent premature wear on the nozzle and coupling.
•Perform a daily inspection of all equipment to ensure that no damage was incurred over the shutdown period.
Weekly Maintenance
•Check the nozzle for wear. Maximum wear is defined when the nozzle diameter increases in size from ¼” to 3/8”
for a #4 nozzle. Worn nozzles will reduce operating blasting pressure and will reduce production rate.
•Check blast and vacuum hoses for signs of wear or soft spots.
•Check all valves and controls for satisfactory operating condition.
•Check recovery, pre-filter and H.E.P.A. filters for satisfactory operation and recovery accumulated debris or dust if
over ½” barrel deep.
Monthly Maintenance (or approximately 200-500 hours of operation)
•Check and if needed replace the filters.
•Check all seals for signs of wear and replace as needed.
•Hoses should be checked for signs of wear inside and outside.
•Replace drums with clean empty ones. Dispose of used drums according to local regulations.
SECTION VII
GENERAL H.E.P.A. FILTER CARE
1. The Novatek CBS and MCV systems have been specifically designed to remove and contain hazardous material
such as lead-based paint and asbestos while removing protective coatings. Special filters reduce the incidence of
airborne contaminated dust that would be created by other methods of cleaning.
2. During the removal of protective coatings, asbestos dust, and other hazardous materials, do not sweep, scoop or
shovel or in any manner handle other than by vacuuming as covered in this manual.
3. Do not attempt, at any time, to bypass, remove, substitute, or by any other means, change the filters in this system.
Use only approved Novatek vacuum filters. Before attempting to use and before cleaning, be certain that you fully
understand the instructions given for the setting up or cleaning/changing of filters in the vacuum unit.
4. The pre-filter stage on top of the 55 gallon drum removes the majority of dust and dirt before moving through the
H.E.P.A. stage or vacuum pump.
5. The H.E.P.A. filter must be used when processing hazardous waste. This filter will pass only particles smaller than
.3 microns which meets OSHA requirements. The small amount of dust that may be deposited in the upstream side
of the filter should be removed and disposal in an OSHA approved and sealed bag.

*www.novatekco.com * Toll Free: 866.563.7800 * Tel: [phone] * Fax: [phone] * [email protected]*
11
6. In all cases filter should be replaced in stages 4 and 4a to minimize contamination and prolong the efficient
operation of the H.E.P.A. filter.
7. H.E.P.A. filter replacement is accomplished by removing the H.E.P.A. filter box top and lifting the H.E.P.A. out of
the unit. The heap filter must be disposed of in an OSHA approved and sealed bag. The new filters installed and
filter box assembled making sure the assembly is properly sealed.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Poor Production
Low air pressure is the most common cause of poor production or performance. The poor operation is generally caused by
one of the following:
•Compressor is too small for the nozzle being used.
•Air line I.D. is too small. Air line size should be a minimum of 1 ¼” diameter.
•Air restriction in the line caused by improper fittings. Blasting pressure should be 100 psi minimum measure at the
nozzle.
Pulsating or Surging of Nozzle Flow
NOTE: It is normal to have an initial surge of grit due to accumulated grit in the hose and nozzle. Normal flow will occure in
a few seconds.
•Choke valve is partially closed.
oThe choke valve should be open during blasting operations.
•Operating with damp abrasives.
oGrit must be absolutely dry to flow evenly through the blast hose and nozzle. On humid days or with a
filter open to weather, correct operation may require operating with the moisture separator drain cock
slightly open. If this does not correct the problem an air dryer system may be required in line between the
compressed air source and the blast machine.
Flow of Air Through the Nozzle, But Little or No Flow of Abrasives
•Blast pot is empty –refill with abrasives.
•Contaminated abrasives.
oInspect to see if contaminants are introduced at the blaster.
•Clogged grit valve.
oAdjust the grit valve to full open position while the machine is blasting. Close the choke valve for a few
seconds –then open it fully. Repeating this sequence three of four times should clear any temporary
blockages.
