ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS To Attach The Handle Bars: 1. To attach the two Handle Bars (6) to the Tank (1), lay the Tank on a flat, level surface with its Handle Bar mounting brackets facing up. (See Figure B.) 2. The Handle Bars (6) are labeled “Left” and “Right”. Align the holes in the left Handle Bar with the Handle Bar mounting brackets on the left side of the Tank (1). (See Figure B.) 3. Place a Washer (50) onto each of the four Handle Bar mounting Screws (8).
3. Slide a Wheel Washer (51) onto each end of the Wheel Axle (5). (See Figure B.) 4. Place a Wheel (2) onto each end of the Wheel Axle (5). Then, slide a Wheel Washer (51) onto each end of the Wheel Axle. (See Figure B.) 5. Insert a Cotter Pin (3) through the holes in each end of the Wheel Axle (5). Then, bend the Cotter Pins to secure the Wheels (2) to the Wheel Axle. (See Figure B.) 6. Roll the Pressurized Abrasive Blaster over so that the Handle Bars (6) are facing down. 7.
Blast Gun. Then, firmly tighten the Hose Clamp (23). (See Figure C.) 5. Slide the other end of the Abrasive Hose (24) onto the Abrasive Outlet Manifold (22). Then firmly tighten the Hose Clamp (23). (See Figure C.) OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Abrasive Selection: 1. The type of media chosen will greatly influence the amount of time needed to clean a particular surface area. 2. Sandblasting media include silicon carbide, glass bead, walnut shell, brass bead, and alumina. 3.
7. IMPORTANT TIP: If the humidity is 90 to 100%, the Water Trap (17) will not be able to trap all of the moisture in a 3/4 full Tank (1). It is recommended to reduce the amount of media, load more frequently, and empty the Water Trap more often. This will reduce the possibility of clogging the bottom of the Tank or the line. (See Figure D.) FUNNEL (29) WATER TRAP (17) PRESSURE GAUGE (15) TANK FILLER CAP (12) AIR SUPPLY VALVE (18) TANK (1) FIGURE D 8.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. If possible, place the workpiece inside a sandblast cabinet. Otherwise, isolate the workpiece to make sure no damage can occur to nearby walls, tools, personal property, etc. 2. Turn the Air Supply Valve (18), Throttling Valve (18A), and Abrasive Control Valve (18B) to the “OFF” position. (See Figure F.) SAFETY VALVE (10) AIR SUPPLY VALVE (18) THROTTLING VALVE (18A) INLET CONNECTOR (19) ABRASIVE CONTROL VALVE (18B) FIGURE F 3.
8. Point the Blast Gun at the workpiece so that the media will strike the surface of the workpiece at about a 45 degree angle. 9. Squeeze the Control Lever (42C) of the Blast Gun to release the media. NOTE: The flow rate of the media may be irregular when the Blast Gun is first started. Provided the media is dry, the flow rate will become normal in approximately one minute. (See Figure E.) 10. Adjust the Abrasive Control Valve (18B) to increase or decrease the media flow rate. (See Figure F.) 11.
2. Supply Valve (18), Throttling Valve (18A), and Abrasive Control Valve (18B) to the “OFF” position. Use the Safety Valve (10) to release any remaining air pressure in the Tank (1). Check to make sure the Pressure Gauge reads “0” PSI. Then, disconnect the compressor hose from the Inlet Connector (19) of the unit. Before each use: Inspect the general condition of the Pressurized Abrasive Blaster and its accessories.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Blast flow surges. Possible Solution 1. Air pressure too low. Increase air pressure. Excessive media consumption. 2. Too much media. Adjust Abrasive Control Valve. 1. Abrasive Control Valve open too far. Close slightly. Clogging and plugging of blast flow. 2. Air pressure too low. Increase air pressure. 1. Excessive debris in media. Purge and filter media. 2. Media size too large. Use smaller grit size. 3. Nozzle plugging. Use larger Nozzle. 4. Nozzle plugging.
