ASSEMBLY, OPERATION, PREVENTITIVE MAINTENANCE
1. FEATURES
The Soda blasting retro fit kit if for use in conjunction with the 3060, 3008 and 3032 sand
blasting kits. Quick and simple to fit and use.
Soda blasting is especially suitable in the classic car market as soda will not etch glass and
will not warp or remove metalwork. The surface will be left smooth.
Soda also leaves a rust inhibitor behind for up to six weeks.

the hose off the connector (fig. 1A).
2. Unscrew the air hose from the manifold (fig.1B).
3. Unscrew the manifold from the bottom of the tank (fig.1C).
Fit Soda Blasting Manifold
1. Use PTFE tape on threaded connection for an air tight seal.
2. Screw in the new manifold until tight, use a spanner (fig.2A), ensure the air hose
connection faces the back of the tank.
3. Screw in the air hose and tighten with a spanner (fig.2B).
4. Push the blasting hose onto the lower connector, tighten the clamp with a flat head
screwdriver
