1. Code of Practice
It must always be adhered to the rules and regulations valid for wet abrasive blasting and also to the valid rules
and regulations for the prevention of accidents to be applied to the respective field of application; special
attention must be paid to the following (extract from the Instructions for Operation):
• Any and all recommendations and instructions, in particular the basic safety instructions included in the
instructions for operation!
• The machine must be operated by trained and skilled personnel only!
• The blasting lance should never be directed towards persons and/or animals!
• The magnetic clamp of the remote control must always be securely fixed at the wrist!
• Helmet, hearing- and breathing protection apparatus must always be worn!

2. push the footbrake at the wheels on the back
side (torbo S120 and M120).
Pic. 3 Pic. 4
3. close the handle bar for blasting pressure.
(lever is in a horizontal position).
4. close valve for pressure relief
(lever shows up).
3. Connect
Pic. 5
5. unlock the emergency Stopp
(turn the red cap to the right and release the
cap).
Pic. 6 Pic. 6, Info
6. connect the blasting-mixture-hose underneath
the vessel and on the right side of the control
cabinet.
INFO: the coupling with the tension ring must
be underneath the vessel.
Pic. 7 Pic. 7, Info
7. connect the air-pressure-hose at the machine.
ATTENTION: protect the coupling with a
locking pin against loosening.

Pic. 8
8. connect the water-hose at the machine.
Pic. 9 Pic. 9, Info
9. connect the power cable on a 12 volt DC power
source.
(e.g. battery of the compressor).
INFO: red pole tong at plus „+“ and the black
tang at minus „-“; the LED lights green.
4. Filling
4.1. first filling at location
Pic. 10 Pic. 11
10. open the handle bar at the overflow
(the lever shows up).
11. open the valve for water to the sieve top
(handle bar shows up – extra equipment).
Pic. 12 Pic. 13
12. open the handle bar for blasting/washing
(handle bar shows in the way of the hose –
extra equipment).
13. turn the arrow at the dosing valve „S“ on
position „D“.
turn the arrow at the dosing valve „Z/R“ on
position „D“ (extra equipment).
Pic. 14 Pic. 15
open now the pressure air and water to the
machine.
14. start with filling of the blasting media into the
vessel.
15. fill in blasting media till it flows out of the
overflow.

Pic. 16 Pic. 17
16. close the handle bar at the overflow
(handle bar shows to the right)
17. close handle bar for water to the sieve top
(handle bar shows horizontal – extra
equipment).
Pic. 18 Pic. 19
18. disconnect the water-hose from the sieve top.
hold the loose end over the sieve top
(extra equipment).
19. open the water to the sieve top again
(extra equipment).
(handle bar shows up – extra equipment).
flush the remaining blasting media into the
vessel (extra equipment).
Pic. 20 Pic. 21
20. close the water to the sieve top
(handle bar shows horizontal – extra
equipment).
21. tip over the sieve top / take off the sieve top.
Pic. 22 Pic. 23
22. wait until water flows over the top of the vessel.
INFO: with water from the water-hose of the
sieve top is the filling up of the vessel quicker.
23. turn the vessel closure to clean it from rests of
blasting media.
Pic. 24 Pic. 25
24. pull up the vessel locking by the ring until the
pressure has built up.
INFO: place the sieve top back on the top of
the vessel.
25. lift up the black screw cap for vessel pressure
control..
set the pressure at 11 to 12 bar by turning the
screw cap. (see gauge next to the screw cap).
push the screw cap in.
INFO: if the pressure is over 12 bar the safety
relief valve opens.
is these happens step 14 to 24 have to repeat.

INFO: turn the screw cap
- to the left -> less pressure
- to the right -> more pressure.
Pic. 26
26. turn the handle bar for blasting pressure
slightly up.
check the machine for leak tightness.
a) audio test (disappear air or water out of the
machine?)
b. view test (disappear water out of the
machine?)
is there a leakiness so solve the problem first
or call you dealer before working with the
machine.
ATTENTION: observe the details and safety
instructions in the manual to the machine!
Pic. 27 Pic. 28
27. connect the blasting nozzle with the blasting
hose.

Pic. 47 Pic. 48
47. disconnect the water supply.
48. additional to this, the vessel has to be emptied
for following reasons:
a) usage of a soluble blasting media,
b) usage of a blasting media which get hardens
in combination with water (e.g. soda),
c) change blasting media.
7.4. Stop blasting (e.g. relocation)
