Abrasive blasting can create dust that may contain

toxic materials from abrasive material and the

surface being blasted. NEVER use abrasives

containing high amounts of crystalline silica

including silica sand/beach sand for abrasive

blasting. Airborne crystalline silica causes silicosis,

a fatal respiratory disease. Abrasive blasting can

create high levels of noise that may cause hearing

damage. Always use proper safety equipment

including respiratory protection, hearing protection,

and comply with local, regional and national safety

codes. Ensure all operators of the equipment are

properly trained and everyone in the area including

bystanders are protected from the hazards of

abrasive blasting. The manufacturer, wholesaler

and distributor assume no responsibility arising

from the failure to comply with this warning.

C-Series Jr - 0.5 / 1.0 Cu Ft User’s Manual

WARNING: This section of the manual is designed to give you a general understanding of how the

Abrasive Blaster functions. All sections of this manual must be read and understood before

operating the equipment.

Flow of Compressed Air

Flow of Abrasive

Flow of Exhaust Air

During Blow-down

ADDING ABRASIVE

Abrasive is added through the hole in the top of the Abrasive Blaster where the Pop-up and its seat are

located. When abrasive is added, it ows down through the hole, around the Pop-up, and down to the

bottom of the pressure vessel where it will exit through the Metering Valve when blasting is started.

PRESSURIZATION

When a compressed air source (such as an air-compressor) is connected to the inlet of the Abrasive

Blaster and the Inlet Shut-O󰀨 Valve is opened, compressed air ows to the Inlet Valve where it is stopped.

When the control handle is activated, the Inlet Valve opens and air ows into the Pressure Vessel causing

the Pop-up (located internally) to seal against its seat. Simultaneously, the Diaphragm Valve closes

sealing the Pressure Vessel allowing it to hold pressure. Air will also continue past the Choke Valve,

through the Pusher Line, and nally to the “tee” under the Metering Valve where it is mixed with abrasive.

The mixture of compressed air and abrasive will now exit the Abrasive Blaster through a blast hose and

nozzle connected to the coupling under the Metering Valve and blasting begins. It is important to note

that, some abrasive will collect at the base of the Metering Valve causing the blast hose to pulsate and

spray abrasive erratically for a short time while pressure builds up in the pressure vessel. This is normal

and will not damage the Abrasive Blaster.

DEPRESSURIZATION (BLOW-DOWN)

When the control handle is released in a pressure release (CPR) system, the Inlet Valve automatically

closes stopping the ow of compressed air into the Pressure Vessel. Simultaneously, the Diaphragm

Valve opens allowing the compressed air in the pressure vessel to exit the Abrasive Blaster through the

Diaphragm Valve. When all the pressure in the Pressure Vessel is released, blasting stops.

WARNING: The Procedures provided in the Operating Procedures section of the manual are designed to

provide basic information on how to safely operate the features of Pirate Brand® CPR Series Abrasive

Blasters. Only personnel thoroughly trained in abrasive blasting should operate the Abrasive Blaster.

INSPECT PRESSURE VESSEL

When you receive your Abrasive Blaster, remove the

Handway Assembly and check for foreign items that may

have fallen into the Abrasive Blaster through the Pop-up

opening. Remove any foreign materials and reinstall the

Handway Assembly.

DANGER: Never perform any maintenance or

attempt to open the Abrasive Blaster in any way

while it is pressurized. The violent release of

compressed air and propelled objects will cause

serious injury or death.

RE-TIGHTEN HANDWAY ASSEMBLY

After the Abrasive Blaster has been pressurized for the rst

time, tighten the nut on the Handway Assembly. Tightening

the nut on the Handway Assembly should also be done any

time after the handway has been removed for maintenance

before and after the next pressurization.

DANGER: Never perform any maintenance or

attempt to open the Abrasive Blaster in any way

while it is pressurized. The violent release of

compressed air and propelled objects will cause

serious injury or death.

PURGE AIR SUPPLY HOSE

Before connecting the Air Supply Hose to the Abrasive

Blaster, purge the hose of any moisture or foreign debris.

Standing water or moisture in the air line will cause

degraded performance of the Abrasive Blaster. Air supplied

to the Abrasive Blaster must be clean, dry and cool.

ATTACH REMOTE CONTROL HANDLE

Attach the Remote Control Handle to the Blast Hose near

the Nozzle with hose clamps or heavy wire ties. Form a loop

of Twinline/Control Cord that comes 6” away from the Blast

Hose, runs 6” parallel to the Blast Hose, and comes 6” back

to the Blast Hose. Using duct tape, attach the Twinline/

Control Cord to the Blast Hose where the loop ends by

wrapping the tape around the Twinline/Control Cord twice

and then around the Blast Hose. This creates a strain-relief

attachment and is only necessary on the rst connection

near the Control Handle. Starting from the Nozzle end of

the Blast Hose, attach the Twinline/Control Cord to the blast

hose by wrapping duct tape around both every 3 feet.

C-Series Jr - 0.5 / 1.0 Cu Ft User’s Manual

PRESSURIZING THE ABRASIVE BLASTER

Before pressurizing the Abrasive Blaster make sure the

following conditions occur:

• All “BEFORE YOU BLAST” procedures have

been followed.

• The Inlet Shut-O󰀨 Valve is closed.

• The Inlet Valve Petcock is closed.

• The Remote Control Handle is released.

• All hose connections are secure and have a safety clip

installed.

• The Abrasive Blaster is set up in a safe and level location

where all people in the vicinity are aware of its presence.

• All necessary safety equipment is present and being

worn by all people in the vicinity of the Abrasive Blaster.

• Only personnel who have been thoroughly trained and

have read and understand the manual are in the vicinity

of the Abrasive Blaster

When these conditions are met, turn on the compressed air

source and open the Inlet Shut-O󰀨 Valve on the Abrasive

Blaster. The Abrasive Blaster is now ready to begin blasting.

DANGER: Never perform any maintenance or

attempt to open the Abrasive Blaster in any way

while it is pressurized. The violent release of

compressed air and propelled objects will cause

serious injury or death.

DANGER: Never supply compressed air

exceeding 150 PSI (10.3 BAR) to the Abrasive

Blaster.

WARNING: The Blast Hose may kick back when

Remote Control Handle is activated. Be

prepared and brace yourself for kick back.

Blast Hoses will normally kick back erratically for

a short time when the Abrasive Blaster is started.

WARNING: All those who will be in the area

while blasting is to occur must be properly

trained, read the manual, and wearing safety

equipment to protect from the hazards described

by the WARNING and DANGER labels located

on the Abrasive Blaster. If any labels are worn

or missing they must be replaced.

WARNING: 100 PSI Minimum. Failure to provide

a constant air supply of at least 100 PSI can

cause excessive wear to multiple components

and the control system to operate improperly.

USING THE ABRASIVE BLASTER

After pressurizing the Abrasive Blaster, it is ready to begin

blasting. Fold down safety ap lever lock and squeeze the

Remote Control Handle to start the ow of abrasive and

compressed air. Adjustments to the air/abrasive mixture

can be made by swinging the handle on the Metering

Valve. There will be a delay between a change made at

the Metering Valve and what comes out of the Nozzle

depending on the length of Blast Hose being used.

To stop the ow of compressed air and abrasive,

release the Remote Control Handle and blasting will stop

after a short time. How long it takes for blasting to stop

will depend on the length of Blast Hose being used. The

pressure vessel will automatically exhaust through the

Diaphragm Valve causing a rush of compressed air that

can propel any loose objects, debris or spilled abrasive at

nearby personnel. For this reason, personnel must not be

located near the Abrasive Blaster when blasting is taking

place.

DANGER: Airborne particles produced by

abrasive blasting can cause respiratory disease.

All persons operating or located near the blasting

site must wear approved NIOSH / OSHA

approved breathing equipment. Never use

abrasive containing silica.

DANGER: Never stand near an Abrasive Blaster

when it is in operation. The release of the

Remote Control handle will cause a sudden

release of compressed air from the Diaphragm

Valve without warning. Only Adjust the

Metering Valve after the Abrasive Blaster has

completely depressurized.

WARNING: Only personnel thoroughly trained in

abrasive blasting should operate the Abrasive

Blaster. This manual only provides basic

information on how to safely operate the features

of Pirate Brand® CPR Series Abrasive

Blasters.

WARNING: Never point the blast Nozzle at

yourself, other people, or the Abrasive Blaster.

WARNING: Never use the abrasive blaster

without a nozzle securely installed in the blast

hose nozzle holder

WARNING: The Choke Valve must be completely

open when blasting or damage to equipment will

occur.

Operating Procedures

Blasting

C-Series Jr - 0.5 / 1.0 Cu Ft User’s Manual

DRAINING THE MOISTURE SEPARATOR

(if equipped)

During blasting, the Moisture Separator must be periodically

drained. The best way to accomplish this is to leave the

drain valve slightly open all the time so it constantly leaks

air and forces moisture out.

WARNING: The Abrasive Blaster must be

supplied with clean, cool, dry compressed

air in order to function properly.

SHUTTING DOWN THE ABRASIVE BLASTER

When blasting is complete, the Abrasive Blaster will need

to be shut down. Make sure the Remote Control Handle is

released then close the Inlet Shut-O󰀨 Valve and open the

Inlet Valve Petcock.

DISCONNECTING AIR SUPPLY HOSE

After the Abrasive Blaster has been depressurized and the

Inlet Valve has been closed, the Compressed Air Supply

Hose may still contain pressure which must be released

before disconnecting the hose. To do this shut o󰀨 the

compressed air at its source, and open the Inlet Shut-O󰀨

Valve on the Abrasive Blaster.

Next, open the petcock at the top of the Inlet Valve. For

systems with electric remote controls, you must be

connected to a power source and hold down the Remote

Control Handle to allow air to bleed out through the Inlet

Valve Petcock.

When you no longer hear air escaping through the Inlet

Valve petcock, squeeze the Compressed Air Supply Hose

to conrm it is soft and does not contain compressed air.

After conrming the absence of compressed air in the

Compressed Air Supply Hose it is ready to be disconnected.

Maintenance Procedures

Procedure Details

C-Series Jr - 0.5 / 1.0 Cu Ft User’s Manual

NO ABRASIVE FLOW WHEN BLASTING (AIR ONLY)

Possible Causes:

1. The Abrasive Blaster is empty or has no Abrasive in it.

2. The Metering Valve is closed or has not been adjusted

properly.

3. There is an obstruction in the Metering Valve. To clear the

obstruction, perform the following procedure:

Open the Metering Valve to its fully open position. Depress the

control handle and have a second qualied person close the choke

valve for 2 seconds, and then open it again immediately. This will

push minor obstructions such as a small amount of wet abrasive,

a piece of paper from a bag, or bridged paint chips through the

Metering Valve and out the Nozzle. Readjust the Metering Valve

back to the desired setting for blasting, and check to see if the

obstruction has been cleared.

If there is still an obstruction, depressurize the Abrasive Blaster.

Completely remove the Metering Valve. The remaining abrasive

in the pressure vessel should pour out in a steady stream. If you

do not see a steady stream of abrasive, then there is a large

obstruction such as a large piece of paper from a bag of abrasive.

If you have determined there is a large obstruction, then the

obstruction must be removed from inside the Pressure Vessel. To do

this, make sure the Abrasive Blaster is depressurized and remove

the Handway Assembly. Scoop or vacuum out all the abrasive from

inside the pressure vessel and remove the obstruction. Reinstall

the Handway Assembly and Metering Valve and tighten them

securely, then Rell the Abrasive Blaster.

It is recommended that a screen be used to prevent foreign

objects from entering the Abrasive Blaster and causing an

obstruction.

4. The Abrasive Blaster has wet abrasive in it. The wet abrasive

must be removed by depressurizing the Abrasive Blaster, removing

the Handway Assembly, and scooping or vacuuming it out.

Dry abrasive must always be used. Clean, cool, dry air must

be supplied to the Abrasive Blaster in order to prevent the

abrasive from getting wet. For Abrasive Blasters being used

outside, it is recommended that a lid be used to keep water

from entering the Abrasive Blaster.

ABRASIVE STREAM IS TOO HEAVY OR

THROBBING WHEN BLASTING

Possible Causes:

Note: CPR Systems may throb temporarily when starting up if

abrasive has collected in blast hose from previous use. This is

normal and requires no action to correct.

1. Choke Valve is partially closed. Never run the Abrasive Blaster

with the Choke Valve in any other position except fully open or

damage to the Abrasive Blaster will occur.

2. The Metering Valve needs to be adjusted.

LOW PRESSURE AT THE NOZZLE

Possible Causes:

1. Air compressor is the wrong size (too small) or the load
